Antoine Semenyo joins Man City on five-and-a-half-year deal, targets trophy push across four competitions

Manchester City have completed the signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth for an initial fee of £62.5m.

Semenyo has signed a five-and-a-year deal at the Etihad, with City beating competition from a host of Premier League rivals to sign the winger.

The 26-year-old has been one of the Premier League 's standout talents in 2025-26, with 10 goals for Bournemouth over the first half of the campaign.

That return included a last-minute winner against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday in his final appearance for the Cherries.

In his first interview with the club's official media channel, Semenyo said he believes his best football is still to come.

“I am so proud to have joined Manchester City ,” said Semenyo.

“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 .

“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. And City are in a great position – still involved in four competitions. I really feel I can help them have a strong second half of the season.

“The Etihad is my new home. I can’t wait to play in front of the fans here and I hope to show everyone what I can do.”

Semenyo will wear the number 42 shirt at Manchester City and could make his debut in this weekend's FA Cup third-round tie with Exeter City .
