AFC Bournemouth wishes Antoine Semenyo well after Manchester City switch

AFC Bournemouth have wished Ghana international Antoine Semenyo well following his high-profile move to Manchester City in the current transfer window.

The Black Stars forward completed a move to the Premiere League giants on Friday morning, penning a five-and-a-half-year deal that will keep 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 Manchester City for a reported £65 million transfer fee.

He becomes the most expensive Ghanaian player in history and also Bournemouth’s record transfer.

“We can confirm that Antoine Semenyo has joined Manchester City for a club-record fee. Everyone at AFC Bournemouth wishes you nothing but the best, Ant” wrote the club.

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