The 25-year-old goalscoring winger arrives at the Etihad in the hopes of pushing Pep Guardiola's troops over the line in a neck-and-neck title fight with league rival Arsenal .

He joins for a reported £62.5m fee which is below the £65m release clause in his Cherries contract but Bournemouth do stand to make an additional £1.5m in add-ons and also hold a 10% sell-on fee.

One of the brightest forward talents in the Premier League across the last two seasons, Semenyo's rapid rise up the football ladder dates back to a breakout campaign with Bristol City in 2021/22 before enjoying a fine first full season with the Cherries two seasons later.

Under Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, the London-born forward has hit his stride, bagging 11 goals in 2024/25, and is on pace to flirt with a 20-goal return in the current 2025/26 campaign.

With a move now complete, City are capable of calling upon attacking depth that also includes Erling Haaland , Omar Marmoush, Jérémy Doku, Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden , and for the moment, Oscar Bobb and Savinho.
