He suggested Embolo from Monaco. He felt like my play style is very similar.Semenyo, 25, has registered 10 league goal contributions this season, playing a key role in Bournemouth's impressive run, which included an 11-game unbeaten streak before it was ended by Liverpool.Reflecting on his journey, Semenyo explained how he used a shin injury in 2022 as an opportunity to learn from some of footballs greatest strikers.I watched Henry and Drogba for inspiration; movement, working on heading, just footwork, just those sort of things. I used my time watching them. I was out for three to four months. It was a lot of watching. I used the time wisely to watch them and included them in my game.Since his 10.3m switch from Bristol City to Bournemouth in January 2023, Semenyo has developed into a key figure for the Cherries.His form has attracted interest from elite clubs, as Bournemouth remain in contention for a European spot.
