Antoine Semenyo, a forward with a bright future, recently expressed his admiration for Asamoah Gyan, a legendary Ghanaian striker.
Semenyo, who plays as a forward for Bournemouth in the English Premier League, spoke about his aspirations to follow in Gyan's footsteps and become a successful footballer.
His comments shed light on the impact that role models can have on young footballers and the importance of having inspirational figures to look up to.
“I used to watch him when he came to AFCON competitions and the World Cup. He was such a big player and I dream to be exactly like him,” he told GhanaWeb.
Antoine Semenyo scored Ghana's only goal against Angola in the first leg of the Afcon 2023 qualifiers doubleheader last month at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
Born in England, Semenyo is of Ghanaian descent. He debuted with the Ghana national team in a 3–0 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Madagascar on 1 June 2022.
