OFFICIAL: Ghana star Antoine Semenyo joins Manchester City on a five-and-a-half-year deal

Premier League giants Manchester City have successfully secured the signing of Ghana international Antoine Semenyo in the current transfer window.

The Black Stars forward joins the Citizens on a five-and-a-half-year deal from fellow Premier League club, AFC Bournemouth, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2031.

Semenyo has enjoyed a meteoric rise to become one of the Premier League’s most feared forwards, earning him a significant move to a Premier League powerhouse. He is expected to provide depth and flexibility across City’s attacking positions.

Despite interest from several leading European clubs, Semenyo chose Manchester City as he looks to compete for major honours under manager Pep Guardiola.

Born in London to Ghanaian parents, Semenyo started his professional career at Bristol City before loan spells at Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland, further honing his craft.

After impressing at Ashton Gate, Bournemouth spotted his potential and captured his signature midway through the 2022/23 season, from where his career has gone from strength to strength ever since.

Semenyo established himself as one of Bournemouth’s most consistent performers this season, racking up 10 goals and providing three assists in the Premier League, further underlining his growing influence in England’s top flight.

Throughout his spell at Bournemouth, the 25-year-old Ghanaian forward made 110 appearances for the Cherries, scoring 32 goals and registering 13 assists across all competitions.
