9th January 2026
Manchester City have officially announced the signing of Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, confirming a five-and-a-half-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2031.
The former Premier League champions moved to secure Semenyo after his standout performances for Bournemouth, where he established himself as one of the league’s most dynamic attackers. The deal brings to an end weeks of speculation surrounding his future.
Semenyo, 25, arrives at the Etihad Stadium after a remarkable spell on the south coast, capped by a dramatic final appearance in which he scored a last-minute winner against Tottenham Hotspur. His blend of pace, power and versatility has made him one of the most sought-after forwards in the league.
For Manchester City, the signing adds another attacking option to Pep Guardiola’s squad as they look to maintain their dominance at home and in Europe.
In a brief statement, City welcomed the Ghana international and expressed confidence in his ability to adapt quickly to their style of play.
Semenyo’s move marks a major milestone in his career and makes him one of the highest-profile Ghanaian players to join a Premier League giant.
As he begins a new chapter in Manchester, expectations will be high, but his rise so far suggests he is ready for the challenge.
