Ghana striker Antoine Semenyo has signed a fresh contract with Premier League club AFC Bournemouth, keeping him at the south coast side until 2030.

The 25-year-old moved to the Cherries from Bristol City in 2023 and has become a vital player for the team. During the 2024/25 campaign, he scored 13 goals and set up seven more in 42 matches across all competitions, helping Bournemouth finish ninth in the table.

Speaking about his new deal, Semenyo said he's delighted to stay put. He stated:

I've grown so much at the club, both on and off the pitch, and I'm really happy to have signed ahead of returning for pre-season.
