Premier League giants, Manchester City have announced the signing of Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth in the ongoing January transfer window.
The Citizens snapped up the winger for £65 million (£62.5 million initially, £1.5 million in add-ons, plus 10% of next transfer), activating his release clause before it expired on Saturday.
The Ghanaian international has penned a five-and-a-half-year deal, which will see him stay at the Etihad Stadium through to 2031.
The 26 year is set to make his debut for City in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Newcastle.
“I am so proud to have joined Manchester City,” said Semenyo after completing all the necessary processes.
“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.”
