Semenyo Set for Manchester City Medical as Guardiola Adds January Firepower

Antoine Semenyo’s long anticipated move to Manchester City is now entering its final stretch, with the Ghana international scheduled to undergo his medical on Thursday.

The Bournemouth winger is expected to play his final game for the Cherries against Tottenham Hotspur before the final steps are taken to seal his switch to the Etihad Stadium. Documents have been signed, clearing the path for City to complete the deal once the medical is successfully concluded.

Semenyo arrives as a tactical addition to Pep Guardiola’s evolving attacking puzzle. City view the 25 year old as quality rotation for Jeremy Doku and a clear upgrade on the right flank, offering direct running, physical presence, and goal threat to complement Erling Haaland through the middle. His versatility across the front line is seen as a key asset as City navigate the second half of the season on multiple fronts.

Guardiola had hinted at movement in January earlier this month, striking a familiar note of calm calculation. “We’ll see the transfer market and we’ll be creative. We’ll find some solutions,” the City manager said. Semenyo now appears to be one of those solutions, a player trusted to raise the level without disrupting the balance of an already elite squad.

For Bournemouth, the Tottenham match is likely to be a moment of quiet farewell. Semenyo has been central to their attacking identity, and his rise from promising winger to Premier League standout has been rapid and convincing. For Manchester City, it is another statement of intent, adding depth and edge as the title race intensifies and Europe looms.

All that remains is Thursday’s medical. After that, Antoine Semenyo’s journey takes a decisive turn toward sky blue.
