"I am so proud to have joined Manchester City. 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 [Guardiola]. 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."
"Antoine is a really exciting signing for the football club. He made it clear to us immediately that it was City he wanted to join. He has huge quality. Two great feet, pace, power, a habit of influencing games and, importantly, real room for growth and development. We are constantly watching players all over the world. Antoine was the one we most wanted. He has shown he can perform in the Premier League. He is humble, hard-working, professional and totally focused on being a better footballer. He is ideal for us."
Manchester City met Antoine Semenyo's release clause to sign him from Bournemouth for a fee reported at about £65 million, and he has signed until summer 2031. Semenyo described joining City as a privilege and praised the club's standards, players, facilities and manager Pep Guardiola, saying he still has scope for improvement and that his best football is yet to come. Semenyo made 110 appearances for Bournemouth and scored the winner in their recent 3-2 win over Tottenham. City director of football Hugo Viana praised his quality, pace, power, two-footed ability, humility and capacity for further development. Semenyo is a Ghana international who progressed through loan spells at Bath and Newport before breaking through at Bristol City.
