Pep Guardiola has lauded Antoine Semenyo for his qualities following his move to Manchester City from Bournemouth.
City secured the services of Antoine Semenyo in a £64 million deal.
Semenyo, 26, has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the reigning champions, joining Pep Guardiola’s squad.
“He played extraordinary in Bournemouth in the last years. He can play on both sides, right and left, uses both legs unbelievably. And at striker as well he can play with his pace. He knows the Premier League, many clubs wanted him and he decided to join us – so only I can say is thanks to him! Really pleased for the next years!” Guardiola said, praising Semenyo’s versatility and skill.
Semenyo, who scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 20 Premier League games for Bournemouth this season, is expected to bolster City’s attacking options.
“I am so proud to have joined Manchester City,” Semenyo said. “My best football is yet to come, I am sure of that”
