Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo reaches new EPL milestone after Arsenal defeat

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has reached 100 appearances in the Premier League after featuring for Bournemouth in their game against Arsenal on Saturday. 

The 25-year-old, who is on his way to Manchester City, started for the Cherries in what could be his last game for Bournemouth as they suffered a 3-2 defeat to the league leaders.

Semenyo achieved the new milestone following his consistency in the league in the last two season, which has made him one of the most-sought after players in the league.

In 100 games, Semenyo has netted 29 goals and registered 10 assists in the Premier League.

He becomes the eight Ghanaian player to make 100 appearances in the English topflight, with Jordan Ayew with the most games in the league.

Semenyo follows closely Ayew's senior brother Andre (102), Tariq Lamptey (104), Daniel Amartey (107) and Thomas Partey (130).

Also on the list are Michael Essien with 169 appearances, Jeffrey Schlupp with 280 and Jordan with 305.

Semenyo is expected to join Manchester City in the January transfer window following negotiations between Bournemouth and the Etihad outfit.
