Tottenham target Premier League star hailed as ‘better than Doku’ by Aston Villa icon

Antoine Semenyo’s rise at Bournemouth has caught the attention of England’s biggest clubs with his name now linked to a potential blockbuster move.

The Ghanaian forward has produced six goals and three assists in just seven Premier League matches, a return bettered only by Erling Haaland.

His explosive start has placed him among the league’s elite attackers, prompting growing interest from clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, according to talkSPORT.

Semenyo’s private coach Saul Isaksson-Hurst believes his client’s progress is only the beginning of a much larger story.

“He's just sensational. Box-office player," he said. 

 “He's got the pace, the power, the athleticism, but with the ball. That's what he's elite with. He can go left, he can go right.

“His ball striking is unbelievable. He's just box-office.”

“Even the guys who work with me, like the 'keepers and people who help me with the sessions, they're like, 'Wow, this guy's the real deal'.

Bournemouth reportedly value him at over £75m [$100m], and a release clause exists in his contract though its exact details remain undisclosed.

Former Aston Villa star believes Semenyo is better than Doku

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor was emphatic in his praise, insisting the winger would start for every Premier League side.

“I look at the league table, and name me a team he doesn’t start for on that left-hand side. Name one,” Agbonlahor said .

“He's better than [Man City's Jérémy] Doku. He starts for Arsenal if [Eberechi] Eze plays in that number 10 position.

“[He's] Better than [Gabriel] Martinelli and [Leandro] Trossard. Better than [Cody] Gakpo [at Liverpool]. Starts for Spurs.”

For now, Bournemouth’s star remains central to Andoni Iraola’s record-breaking start but the next chapter of Semenyo’s journey feels inevitable.
