Semenyo (in white shirt) was baptised in England
Black Stars winger Antoine Semenyo has been spotted on a Bournemouth beach in England being immersed in water to affirm his faith.
According to British media outlet Daily Mail, the forward has been officially baptised as a Christian, strengthening his faith and resolve in his football career.
The winger was seen in a white shirt and black trousers, with his hands on his chest, while another person believed to be a man of God engaged him in the spiritual exercise.
After a while, he was immersed in the water and then raised back up, following the usual practice of Christian baptism. Both men then laugh and stepped out of the water afterward.

Prior to this, Semenyo was instrumental in Bournemouth’s 2–2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, constantly supporting the attack while also tracking back to help the defense, giving his side the balance they needed.
Meanwhile, the right‑winger is on the verge of sealing a move to Manchester City, which is expected to be finalised in the coming days, in a £65 million deal, following his impressive performances.
Reports from England indicate that there has been an agreement in principle between both clubs, with an official announcement expected soon.
Bournemouth Head Coach Andoni Iraola clarified that the Ghanaian attacker will feature for the club against Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, January 3, 2025.
“I think he will play vs Arsenal, yes. He needs to recover because we play Arsenal at home in another three days, against the top of the league,” he said.
