Bournemouth midfielder Marcus Tavernier says team-mate Antoine Semenyo is "unplayable" right now. The winger has already scored six goals in seven Premier League games and provided three assists. Having lost a number of faces in the summer, Semenyo has been a key figure in helping the Cherries to keep up their impressive form of last season and take them to fourth in the league.
Bournemouth midfielder Marcus Tavernier says team-mate Antoine Semenyo is "unplayable" right now.
The winger has already scored six goals in seven Premier League games and provided three assists.
Having lost a number of faces in the summer, Semenyo has been a key figure in helping the Cherries to keep up their impressive form of last season and take them to fourth in the league.
"No surprise at all [to see Semenyo's form]," Tavernier told BBC Radio Solent.
"He has come on leaps and bounds from the first time he came here. We saw that quality from the get go, but it just wasn't quite working for him on the pitch at the start.
"What he is producing now is nothing short of what he deserves. He is one of the hardest working people I have played with, always out there doing extras, you can see him doing his shooting videos as well.
"It is great for the team, and for him especially with the success he is getting out there now."
While the versatile 25-year-old has previously played in the central striker position, he has spent the majority of his time on the pitch this campaign in either the right or left wing roles.
When asked where he think's Semenyo's best position is, Tavernier responded: "He would probably say he could play goalkeeper as well!
"That is just Antoine. The way he is playing right now he is unplayable on the wing. I don't think there is anyone who can really mark him when he is on his game.
"When he is in that form, and the way he plays, he can produce anything from those wide positions."
