The Ghanaian international expressed his gratitude and excitement, saying, “This is a brilliant moment for me. To win the Premier League Player of the Month award so soon after joining City is something I'll never forget.” Semenyo's achievement is a testament to his hard work and adaptation to the Premier League.

The winger, who joined City from AFC Bournemouth in January, has made a splash at the Etihad. He's been shortlisted for a major award, beating out tough competition like Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres, Brentford's Dango Ouattara, Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko, Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, and City teammate Nico O'Reilly.

Manchester City swiftly sealed Antoine Semenyo's transfer from AFC Bournemouth on January 9th, 2026, with a whopping £64 million deal. The 26-year-old winger signed a five-and-a-half-year contract, and he's already making waves in sky blue.

Semenyo hit the ground running, scoring and assisting on his City debut in a 10-1 FA Cup demolition of Exeter City. He followed that up with a crucial goal in the League Cup semi-final against Newcastle United, showcasing his instant impact.
