Forward, Antoine Semenyo, has put pen to paper on a contract with Premier League Football Outfit, Manchester City, that will remain valid for the next five (5) years.
The Ghana player moved to the Etihad Stadium from another Premier League Club, AFC Bournemouth.
A Statement from Manchester City on its official website reads: “Manchester City are delighted to confirm the signing of Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth.
“The 26-year-old has penned a five-and-a-half-year deal, which will see him stay at the Etihad Stadium through to 2031.
“Born in London of Ghanaian descent, Semenyo started his professional career at Bristol City but he also took in loan spells at Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland as he further honed his craft.
“After impressing at Ashton Gate, Bournemouth spotted his potential and took him to the Premier League midway through the 2022/23 season from where his career has gone from strength to strength ever since.
“Now, after chalking up 110 appearances all told for Bournemouth, the Ghanaian international is ready to embark on an exciting new challenge with City, where he will add further flair and goal threat to Pep Guardiola’s squad.
“He will be available to feature immediately for City and is also eligible to play in next Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Newcastle.”
Semenyi told the Club’s official website after the signing: “I am so proud to have joined Manchester City.
““I have watched City over the last decade under Pep Guardiola, and they have been the dominant team in the Premier League as well as achieving amazing things in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
“I have so much scope for improvement, so to be at this club, at this stage of my career, is perfect for me. It’s a real privilege to be here.
“The Etihad is my new home. I can’t wait to play in front of the fans here and I hope to show everyone what I can do.”
Hugo Viana, Manchester City Director of Football, described Semenyo as a “really exciting signing” for the Cityzens.
Viana said, “he has huge quality. Two great feet, pace and power.”
