Willy Semedo is a journeyman forward whose career has taken him through Belgium, France, Romania, and Cyprus without ever landing at a club that matched his international ambitions. Now settled at Omonia Nicosia, he offers Cape Verde a physical, direct option up front — the kind of striker who can hold the ball and bring others into play rather than ghost past defenders. His path through Charleroi, Grenoble, and Politehnica Iași reflects a career built on resilience rather than pedigree, and at 32 he arrives at the World Cup as a squad depth option rather than a guaranteed starter.
