Ghana’s dynamic winger, Antoine Semenyo, has earned a spot on the shortlist for the Premier League’s Transfer of the Season award. His move from Bournemouth to Manchester City in January 2026 has already yielded impressive results, showcasing his rapid adaptation to England’s top flight.

Since arriving at Manchester City, Semenyo has made 17 appearances, delivering seven goals and a single assist. His impact was particularly notable in February, where he netted three times and provided one assist in just five matches—a performance that earned him the EA SPORTS Player of the Month accolade for the first time in his career.

Before joining City, Semenyo was already turning heads at Bournemouth during the first half of the 2025-26 season. In 20 appearances, he contributed 10 goals and three assists, reinforcing his reputation as a player capable of making an immediate difference in any team.

«Antoine Semenyo’s arrival at Manchester City has been nothing short of transformative. His pace, technical skill, and instinct in front of goal have made him a key asset in a squad competing at the highest level,» noted league officials in their official assessment.

Semenyo is up against stiff competition for the award, including João Pedro (Chelsea), Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal), Senne Lammens (Manchester United), Adrien Truffert (Bournemouth), Granit Xhaka (Sunderland), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United), and Rayan Cherki (Manchester City).
