Premier League legend, Jamie Redknapp has praised AFC Bournemouth striker, Antoine Semenyo, saying he is an absolute star.

His comment comes after Semenyo's impressive performance against Newcastle United on Sunday in their 1-1 drawn game at the Vitality Stadium.

After the game, Redknapp lauded the Ghana international for his performance.

“Bournemouth were suddenly the better team. And In Semenyo, at the right wing, he is an absolute star,” Redknapp, who began his career at Bournemouth as a teenager in 1989, before moving to Liverpool after featuring 13 times for the Cherries said on Sky Sports.

Semenyo has bagged 10 Premier League goals since completing a €10.3m switch from Bristol City to Bournemouth in 2023, with Redknapp indicating it’s time for the Cherries to cash in on the Ghanaian.

“I just think, and I don’t want to be selling Bournemouth’s players but you’ve got few days to that window; I think he cost £10m from Bristol City. What a great signing he was.”

“He is worth a fortune. He is such an elegant, graceful, powerful, player. He is got everything, that young man,” he added.

Dominic Solanke’s club record transfer (€64.3m ) from Bournemouth to Spurs has compounded the goalscoring responsibility on the Ghanaian forward, who has a goal and an assist after two league outings.

Semenyo will be looking to add to his tally when Bournemouth face West Ham at the London Stadium in the EFL Cup on Wednesday before travelling to Everton for their next Premier League fixture on Saturday.
