Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo says implementing parts of football legend Didier Drogba’s game has played a massive role in his development as a player.
He said this in an interview with SuperSport as the 2023-2024 English Premier League draws to a close with Semenyo’s AFC Bournemouth set to play against Chelsea on Sunday, May 19 at 15:00 GMT.
While speaking on his development as a player through the years, Semenyo mentioned Drogba as a player he tried to model his game after.
“I remember when I was injured…I just watched players who have similar attributes to myself so I remember watching Michail Antonio, Breel Embolo, a bit of Drogba and just a lot of like movement in behind, timing my runs and just being a nuisance.”

“I just always used to watch them and tried implementing what they had to my game. I feel like that’s played a massive part.”

Semenyo has eight goals and two assists in 32 league games this season.
