Antoine Semenyo has etched his name into Premier League history, becoming the highest-scoring Ghanaian in a single season after reaching 13 goals.
The forward’s latest strike takes him past previous benchmarks set by Ghanaian greats in England’s top flight Tony Yeboah, who scored 12 goals for Leeds united in the 1995/96 season, marking a significant personal milestone in what has been a standout campaign.
Semenyo’s achievement underlines his growing influence and consistency at the highest level. Known for his direct running, physical presence and eye for goal, he has emerged as one of the most reliable attacking outlets for his club this season.
For Ghanaian football, the record is another proud moment. The Premier League has long been home to some of the country’s finest exports, but Semenyo’s 13-goal haul now stands alone as the best single-season return by a player from Ghana.
With couple of matches still to play, the 24-year-old has the opportunity to extend the record even further and continue a season that is already one for the history books.
