📢 🍒Official: Antoine Semenyo Signs New Long-Term Contract With AFC Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth are delighted to announce that Antoine Semenyo has signed a new contract, committing his future to the club after a standout 2024/25 season.
The Ghanaian international forward has put pen to paper on a fresh long-term deal that will keep him at the Vitality Stadium for several more years, in a major boost to manager Andoni Iraola’s attacking plans ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
Semenyo, 25, has grown into a key figure for the Cherries since arriving from Bristol City in January 2023. His pace, physicality, and relentless work rate have made him a fan favourite on the South Coast, and he played a vital role in Bournemouth’s strong finish last season — scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists across all competitions.
Speaking after the announcement, Bournemouth’s chief executive Neill Blake said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to see Antoine commit his future to Bournemouth. He’s a player who embodies everything we stand for — hunger, energy, and continuous development. This new deal is a reward for his progress and importance to our team.”
Head coach Andoni Iraola also praised the forward’s growth under his management:
“Antoine has been fantastic for us. He’s worked hard to develop different aspects of his game and has delivered in big moments. Having him as part of our long-term plans is very important, and I believe there’s even more to come from him.”
Semenyo’s versatility — capable of playing across the front line — has given Bournemouth tactical flexibility, particularly in Iraola’s high-intensity pressing system. His improved end product and maturity have not only earned him a new deal but also attracted interest from several Premier League and European clubs earlier in the year, making this renewal a strong statement of intent from the club.
The player himself expressed his joy at signing a new deal:
“I’m buzzing to extend my stay here. Bournemouth has felt like home since I arrived, and the fans have been amazing. I’ve developed a lot under the gaffer and with this group of players. I’m excited for what we’re building and can’t wait to get started again.”
With Semenyo’s future now secured, Bournemouth can continue planning for the 2025/26 campaign with one of their key attackers locked in — a vital piece of business as they look to push further up the Premier League table.
