Manchester City has made a big statement in the transfer market by securing the signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.
The deal, understood to be finalized this week, will be officially announced on Friday, according to the Press Association.
The 26-year-old winger has agreed to a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Etihad Stadium side, following an initial transfer fee reported to be around £62.5 million.
Semenyo’s Premier League Impact
Semenyo has enjoyed an impressive campaign with Bournemouth this season, finding the net 10 times and setting up three more goals in Premier League action.
His performances have caught the eye of top clubs across England, with Manchester City emerging as the frontrunner.
The Ghana international capped off his time on the south coast with a memorable moment, scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner in Bournemouth’s 3-2 triumph over Tottenham on Wednesday.
A Timely Boost for City
City’s interest in Semenyo intensified as the January transfer window approached, and the deal was completed on Thursday, including all medical formalities.
His arrival is expected to inject fresh energy into Pep Guardiola’s attacking options, especially at a crucial stage in the Premier League title race after three consecutive draws to start 2026.
The signing also comes at a time when City’s squad has been stretched thin due to injuries and international call-ups, providing much-needed depth and versatility.
A Career on the Rise
London-born Semenyo has steadily built his reputation over the past few years.
After starting his career as a teenager with Bristol City, he gained valuable experience during loan spells at Newport and Sunderland before making the move to Bournemouth.
Three years at the Vitality Stadium helped him develop into the Premier League talent Manchester City now hopes will strengthen their squad.
