Ola Aina on Arsenal target Antoine Semenyo being his ‘most underrated opponent’
Ola Aina has revealed that Antoine Semenyo is the ‘most underrated opponent’ he has faced during his career, highlighting why several clubs are after him.
Semenyo is being linked with a £70 million move to Arsenal in the summer with the Gunners on the hunt for a striker and a new winger.
Tottenham and Chelsea are also linked with a move for Semenyo showing just how highly rated the 25-year-old is in the English top flight.
Mikel Arteta’s team hold a key advantage in the race for Semenyo who has revealed he is an Arsenal fan.
The North London club have now been told by one of the Premier League’s best defenders this season, Aina, that Semenyo is a very tough opponent.
When asked about the most underrated player he has faced, Aina told The Inside Scoop: “Underrated player? Semenyo at Bournemouth. He’s shown levels. He’s a top, top player.”
Antoine Semenyo would be a top addition for Arsenal
Arsenal fans may turn their noses up at a move for a player who is playing for Bournemouth, however, Semenyo has been one of the best performing wingers in the league this term.
The 25-year-old has been key in helping Andoni Ireola’s team push for a European spot this season having produced nine goals and five assists in all competitions.
