Anton Semenyo has set a new record in the English Premier League, scoring 17 goals last season, breaking Tony Yeboah's previous record of 12 goals. The Ghanaian forward, who grew up inspired by African legends like Yeboah and Didier Drogba, sees his recent success as inspiration for the next generation of Ghanaian footballers. Born to Ghanaian parents in England, Semenyo's journey to the Premier League was unconventional, as he played through non-league teams before joining Manchester City from AFC Bournemouth.
With the new manager Enzo Maresca taking the reins at Manchester City, Semenyo expressed optimism about adapting to the team's new tactics and working together to win trophies. Beyond his club career, Semenyo highlighted the progress of African football on the global stage, noting that nine out of ten African nations advanced to the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup.
His success is a testament to his Ghanaian heritage, which he credits for his strong work ethic and flair on the pitch.
