In a recent report, journalist Kurtis Leyland revealed that Arsenal are set to rival Newcastle United for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. It has been stated that the Gunners are eyeing a move to secure the services of the Ghanaian talent next year.
Semenyo’s Decent Run Of Form In The Premier League So Far
The 24-year-old has made a good start to this Premier League season after he produced a series of eye-catching performances for the Cherries from the wide areas. Semenyo has found the back of the net three times and picked up one assist in eight appearances for Bournemouth during this campaign across various competitions.
The London-born attacker has proved his worth in the final third by averaging 4.4 shots, 1.0 key passes and 1.7 dribbles per 90 minutes in Premier League football. He has even been careful when distributing possession in the opposition half based on his pass completion rate of 74.7% in the English first division (stats via whoscored).
Semenyo’s current contract at the Vitality Stadium will run out in the summer of 2029 which could make it difficult for the Gunners to land him on a cut-price deal next year.
Will Semenyo Be A Good Signing For Arsenal Head Coach Mikel Arteta?
Semenyo is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few decent runs with the ball out on the flanks. He usually generates a lot of power with his shot attempts and has got the eye to play some decisive passes in and around the opposition penalty area.
The English talent can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the wide areas. He has already shown some glimpses of what he can do in the Premier League. Thus, it makes sense for the Gunners to get a deal done for Semenyo next year.
We can expect the Bournemouth star to enhance the quality of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta‘s attack. He has what it takes to earn a regular first-team spot at the North London club over the next few years. At 24, Semenyo’s best years are ahead of him in English football. Thus, he would be a great signing for the Gunners to pull off in 2025.
