Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth on a five-and-a-half-year contract, keeping the 26-year-old at the Etihad Stadium until 2031.
Semenyo arrives in Manchester after an impressive spell with Bournemouth, where he made 110 appearances and established himself as one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking wingers.
The Ghana international has already scored 10 league goals this season and is available for selection immediately. He could feature as early as next week’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle United.
Born in London to Ghanaian parents, Semenyo began his professional career at Bristol City, gaining valuable experience during loan spells with Bath City, Newport County, and Sunderland before breaking through at Championship level.
His move to Bournemouth in January 2023 marked his Premier League debut, and under manager Andoni Iraola he has consistently delivered, registering double-digit goals in successive seasons.
On the international stage, Semenyo has earned 32 caps for Ghana, including appearances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and is expected to be a key figure for the Black Stars at the upcoming summer tournament.
Speaking about his move to City, Semenyo said:
“I am so proud to have joined Manchester City. They have set the highest standards in the Premier League and Europe. My best football is yet to come, and I feel I can help the team achieve success this season.”
Manchester City’s Director of Football, Hugo Viana, welcomed the signing, describing Semenyo as “a player with pace, power, and huge potential for growth.”
Semenyo’s arrival adds further attacking depth to a squad already competing on four fronts, as City pursue domestic and European honours under Pep Guardiola.
