Manchester City have confirmed the signing of forward Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth, securing a deal that keeps him at the Etihad Stadium until 2031. The 26-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract and will wear the number 42 shirt.
City described Semenyo as a major boost to their attacking options as they compete on multiple fronts this season. The London-born Ghanaian rose to prominence at Bournemouth, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous wide attackers.
Semenyo began his career at Bristol City, with loan stints at Bath City, Newport County, and Sunderland, before moving to Bournemouth in the 2022-23 season. Over 110 appearances, he became known for his pace, strength, and direct attacking style, earning him interest from the Premier League champions.
Now a Black Stars of Ghana international, Semenyo is expected to provide energy, depth, and goal-scoring threat to Pep Guardiola’s squad. He is available immediately and eligible for next Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Newcastle.
Speaking on his move, Semenyo said:
“I am proud to join Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s City has set the highest standards in football, and it’s a real privilege to be here. My best football is yet to come, and I’m ready to contribute to the team’s success this season.”
City’s Director of Football, Hugo Viana, praised Semenyo’s attitude and ambition:
“Antoine is an exciting signing. He made it clear from the start that City was his choice, and his enthusiasm throughout the process has been evident.”
