The Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo has emerged as one of the top contenders for the Premier League’s Transfer of the Season award, thanks to his impressive performances since joining Manchester City in January 2026.
Since his move from Bournemouth, Semenyo has made a significant impact at City, contributing with seven goals and one assist in just 17 league appearances. His form has been particularly noteworthy, with three goals and an assist in five matches during February, a stretch that earned him the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award—the first of his career.
Before his transfer to Manchester City, Semenyo had already made waves in the Premier League with Bournemouth earlier in the season. He tallied 10 goals and three assists in 20 appearances, further solidifying his reputation as a dynamic attacking talent.
Semenyo’s standout performances have placed him among the top nominees for the prestigious award, competing against 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).
The Ghanaian international has quickly become a key asset for Manchester City, blending speed, technical ability, and clinical finishing to deliver memorable moments on the pitch. His rise in the Premier League has not only elevated his profile but also underscored his potential as a future star of the competition.
