"Manchester City have signed Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the team's tilt at the Premier League and Champions League titles. Semenyo, who has scored 10 goals and been one of the best attackers in English football this season, became the European giants' first signing of the January transfer window on Friday. He has moved in a deal worth a reported 65 million pounds ($87m) that runs until the end of the 2031 season."
"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, Semenyo said in a statement. They have set the highest of standards and it's a club with world-class players, world-class facilities and one of the greatest managers ever in Pep."
"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. My best football is yet to come, I am sure of that."
Manchester City have completed the signing of Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in a deal reported to be worth £65 million that runs until the end of the 2031 season. The 26-year-old can play on both wings and has scored 10 Premier League goals with three assists this season, making him the third-highest league scorer for the campaign. Semenyo will provide competition among City’s wingers, joining a group that includes Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush, Savinho and Oscar Bobb. Savinho and Bobb are injured, while Marmoush is at the Africa Cup of Nations and has fallen out of favour.
