English-born Ghanaian attacker Antoine Semenyo has revealed he modeled his game around former English Premier League stars Didier Drogba and Thierry Henry.
The Bristol City attacker has been in blistering form in the English championship and his efforts were rewarded as he was named the Player of the Month for January.
Semenyo who prefers to play as a striker disclosed he picked a few notes from the playing styles of both Henry and Drogba when growing up as a footballer.
“In terms of my link-up play I loved watching (Didier) Drogba,” he told Sky Sports.
“For running in behind Thierry Henry. They are the perfect examples of both. Drogba’s link-up play was unreal, and with Henry’s pace and power, he literally had everything. I try to model the two sides of my game around them.”
“In terms of who I’m a bit closer to in terms of my game I’d say Drogba. He could play into feet and run in behind and dribble too. It’s probably a little bit more like me.” – he added.
Semenyo has notched six goals and seven assists in just 13 appearances
