Antoine Semenyo reveals secrets behind his meteoric rise - and why he once QUIT football after being rejected at 15 by Premier League club

Antoine Semenyo has revealed he once quit football after being rejected by a Premier League club at the age of 15.

Aside from perhaps Erling Haaland, no player in the Premier League has caught the eye more than Semenyo this campaign, with the Bournemouth star elevating his game to chalk up nine goal contributions already in the division.

His stunning vein of form has been integral to the Cherries' impressive start to the season under Andoni Iraola, with Bournemouth sitting fourth level on points with reigning champions Liverpool and just four points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
