In the new season, 25-year-old Bournemouth forward Semenho is in hot form, contributing 6 goals and 3 assists in 8 games. It is reported that Bournemouth has priced him at least 75 million pounds. "The Telegraph" talked about Semenho's experience of being rejected by London clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, and even gave up football for a time.
Semenho has never joined the youth training camp of a Premier League team, and was repeatedly rejected by major London clubs when he was young. He had trials with Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Charlton and Millwall, but was never able to stay. Millwall alone rejected him five times.
Being rejected by Crystal Palace at the age of fifteen completely shattered the young Semenio's confidence. He stayed away from football for a whole year until he was invited to participate in an open trial at Bisham Abbey.
Semenho was loaned to Bath City and Newport, and then coach Michael Flynn transformed him from a center to a winger.
Due to Chelsea's strong interest, Semenho was recalled by Bristol City after only playing for Newport for half a season. Although the transfer to Chelsea failed, other Premier League clubs continued to pay attention to him. In January 2023, Bournemouth signed Semenho for 10 million pounds, by which time he had become a Ghana international.
Now, all the top clubs that rejected him ten years ago are unwilling to recruit him.
