"Most of the big-spending clubs in the Premier League had been interested in the Ghana international after he became one of the stars of the 2025-26 season. Semenyo is the third top scorer in the league with nine goals, plus has three assists. And now the former Bristol City man will finally have the opportunity to play in Europe - and the Champions League."
"AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott will be looking to continue his international heroics in 2026. His five goals in four days against Portugal and Hungary got the Republic of Ireland to March's World Cup play-offs. But it is a big year for the 23-year-old ex-Tottenham man at club level too. He has scored 16 goals in 22 games for AZ this season, leading to suggestions he could be on his way back to one of Europe's top leagues."
Antoine Semenyo is close to joining Manchester City after a 65m release clause was activated. He scored nine league goals with three assists and will have the opportunity to play in the Champions League. The main uncertainty is how quickly he can break into Manchester City's starting XI amid intense attacking competition. Troy Parrott scored five goals in four days for the Republic of Ireland to reach World Cup play-offs and has 16 goals in 22 matches for AZ Alkmaar, prompting interest from bigger European leagues. Nico O'Reilly played at left-back for England in World Cup qualifiers and may need to continue there to make the squad.
