Bournemouth head coach Gary O’Neil has noted that Antoine Semenyo needs to adapt to the Premier League setting.
The Ghanaian forward joined the Cherries during the winter transfer window from Bristol City as they club aims to avoid relegation.
O’Neil revealed that Semenyo is currently getting used to his new surroundings.
“Antoine Semenyo can play as a number nine or off the side but will need to “adapt” to a new league,” O’Neil told the press ahead of the match.
“Of the new signings, none of them aside from Darren Randolph, have played in the Premier League, so there’s an adaptation to league needed.
“We’ve been working on that since the moment they arrived and we’re looking to get them all up to speed.
“The other side of it isn’t football related. They’re in a new area or even a new country for some. They’re getting used to the surroundings.
“We need to help them feel settled. Of course, they can help us here and now, but they have good years ahead of them with room for improvement,” he added.
