Antoine Semenyo Kicks Off Pre-Season with Bournemouth After Committing Future to Club

Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo has reported for pre-season training with AFC Bournemouth following the signing of a new long-term contract with the Premier League outfit.

The 25-year-old forward linked up with his teammates on Monday as manager Andoni Iraola oversaw the first day of preparations for the 2025/26 season. Players took part in gym sessions and football drills as they build fitness ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Semenyo, who recently penned a contract extension keeping him at the Vitality Stadium until the summer of 2030, opted to stay at the club despite reported interest from top Premier League sides including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur.

“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,” Semenyo expressed after putting pen to paper.

Bournemouth are expected to play a series of pre-season friendlies, including a tour of the United States, before the Premier League returns in August.
