‘An incredible move and achievement’ – Yaya Touré hails Antoine Semenyo’s switch to Man City

Yaya Touré has warmly welcomed Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City, publicly congratulating the Ghana forward on a landmark move in his career.

The City legend took to social media shortly after the transfer was confirmed, hailing the significance of the switch and the achievement it represents for the 26-year-old attacker.

“Antoine, a short message to say congratulations on your move to Man City. An incredible move and achievement,” Touré wrote.

Semenyo’s signing was announced on Friday, and the forward wasted no time settling into his new surroundings, immediately linking up with Pep Guardiola’s squad.

City’s urgency was reflected in Guardiola’s confirmation that Semenyo would be included in the matchday squad for the FA Cup third-round tie, highlighting the club’s need for attacking depth amid a congested fixture list.

The former Bournemouth striker arrives in outstanding form, having scored 10 Premier League goals in 20 appearances this season, numbers that earned him widespread attention across the league.
