Ghana international Antoine Semenyo is edging closer to a sensational move to Manchester City after touching down in Manchester to complete medical formalities ahead of a blockbuster transfer.
The Premier League champions have agreed a deal worth around £65 million with AFC Bournemouth for the explosive Black Stars forward, capping off a remarkable rise for one of the league’s most dynamic attackers this season.
Semenyo’s impending switch follows a series of eye-catching displays for the Cherries, none more impressive than his spectacular match-winning strike against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. Just a day later, the 25-year-old arrived in Manchester, setting the stage for what is expected to be the biggest move of his career.

Once medical requirements are successfully completed, the former Bristol City man will formally sign on the dotted line, sealing a dream transfer to the Etihad Stadium and a chance to work under Pep Guardiola.
Despite attracting strong interest from several elite clubs across Europe, Semenyo has chosen Manchester City, drawn by the opportunity to compete for major honours and further refine his game under one of football’s most decorated tacticians.
City see the Ghanaian as a valuable addition to their attacking arsenal, with his pace, power and positional flexibility expected to provide Guardiola with fresh options across the front line.
Since joining Bournemouth in January 2023, Semenyo has grown into a central figure at the south coast club. In 110 appearances for the Cherries, he has contributed 32 goals and 13 assists in all competitions, underlining his importance to the team.
His current campaign has been particularly impressive. With 10 league goals and three assists, Semenyo has emerged as one of Bournemouth’s standout performers and one of the Premier League’s most improved attackers.
Beyond club football, he has remained a key figure for Ghana’s Black Stars, further enhancing his reputation on the international stage.
