“Obviously, Andre Ayew is currently with the team, and Gyan is often present at games. I frequently talk to [Dede Ayew], and he encourages me to keep pushing, reminding me of my potential, saying he didn’t have the same abilities at my age. He advises me to keep striving and not to settle at any level,” Semenyo told Premier League TV, as quoted by Pulse.

Semenyo's performances earned him a nomination for the Premier League for the month of March.

The 24-year-old will be hoping to reach the levels Gyan attained in international football, describing him as an excellent model.

“Asamoah Gyan has also given me similar advice, urging me to continue working hard. He tells me to savour my scoring opportunities but always to keep pushing myself to reach new heights. Growing up as a Ghanaian, watching them perform at World Cups and in the Premier League was inspiring. They are excellent role models," added Semenyo.
