Manchester City officially announces that they signed Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. His new jersey number is 42, with him staying as the Blue Moon member until 2031.
Club Statement:
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.
Semenyo has enjoyed a meteoric rise to become one of the Premier League’s most feared forwards.
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.
Chiefly operating down the left side of an attacking midfield trio, Semenyo’s time with the Cherries has seen him emerge as one of the Premier League’s most exciting and sought-after attacking wingers.
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.
