Former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor believes Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is good enough to start at any of the Premier League’s traditional top 6 teams. The Ghana international has enjoyed a blistering start to the 2025/2026 campaign, scoring 6 and providing 3 assists in 8 games so far.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor challenged the top teams to push for the Ghanaians’ signature during the transfer window, and compared him to his peers in the same position at top clubs.
“I look at the league table, and name me a team he doesn’t start for on that left-hand side. Name one,” he said.
“He’s better than [Man City’s Jeremy] Doku. He starts for Arsenal if [Eberechi] Eze plays in that number 10 position. [He’s] better than [Gabriel] Martinelli and [Leandro] Trossard. Better than [Cody] Gakpo [at Liverpool]. Starts for Spurs,” he added.
Semenyo, 25, signed a new long-term contract with AFC Bournemouth in July 2025, extending his deal until June 2030, with the new contract reported to have a £75 million release clause.
