Semenyo eyes bigger targets after breaking Yeboah’s Ghanaian Premier League record

Antoine Semenyo, a 26-year-old forward, has achieved a remarkable feat by surpassing Tony Yeboah's long-standing goal-scoring record in the English Premier League. Last season, Semenyo scored 17 goals, becoming the Ghanaian with the highest goal tally in a single season in the competition. This achievement has motivated him to inspire the next generation of Ghanaian footballers, who looked up to his childhood heroes like Tony Yeboah, Asamoah Gyan, and Didier Drogba.

Semenyo expressed his gratitude for the motivation he received from these players and hopes his goal-scoring record will have a similar impact on young players. His performance under new City manager Enzo Maresca has also garnered attention as Semenyo enters the new Premier League season with heightened expectations.
