Semenyo’s dad's influence on his career
Larry Semenyo played a vital role in Antoine’s development long before professional contracts and international caps.
A former footballer himself, Larry featured in the Ghana Premier League with Okwahu United before relocating to England in the late 1990s. He settled in Greenwich, South London, where he worked as a taxi driver while building a stable life for his family.
The move came with challenges, yet Larry and his wife, Vida, ensured their children remained closely connected to their Ghanaian roots. Culture, food, and tradition were part of daily life, even thousands of miles from home.
Drawing from his own playing days, Larry became Antoine’s first coach. Training sessions often took place in parks and backyards, focusing on technique, strength of mind, and competitive hunger.

Those early lessons helped mould the explosive forward fans see today, known for pace, power, and relentless pressing.
From humble beginnings, Semenyo has grown into one of the most talked-about attackers in the Premier League.
Reports suggest Manchester City and Manchester United are monitoring his progress, with Liverpool also keeping a close watch, especially amid Alexander Isak’s injury concerns and Mohamed Salah’s AFCON duties with Egypt.
