City’s New Signing Semenyo Feels Right at Home and Hitting the Ground Running

Semenyo’s Arrival and Early Impact

The Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo has joined Manchester City in the January window from Bournemouth, and he says he is delighted to be part of Guardiola’s squad. He describes the environment as ideal, with teammates eager to push for the best, and notes that the staff have helped him settle and grow confident quickly.

He arrived at City amid fanfare and soon opened his scoring account in the FA Cup the day after his signing, then added another in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle United, as City won 2-0.

“The atmosphere here is perfect, everyone wants to achieve the best,” Semenyo said in comments published by the club. He also emphasized that joining recently has been eased by teammates who have made him feel welcome and boosted his self-belief.

On The Pitch and The Road Ahead

Asked about the Newcastle clash, he described it as a tough encounter but said patience paid off, with opportunities created and a finish that reflected his positioning and confidence. He remains upbeat about what lies ahead, noting that he is absorbing everything quickly and enjoying the process.

City had announced Semenyo’s signing last Friday and he marked his first goal for the club the following day against Exeter City in the FA Cup, before adding his second against Newcastle on Tuesday. The second leg is scheduled for February 4 at the Etihad Stadium, as City look to maintain momentum in domestic cup competitions. In the other semi-final, Chelsea and Arsenal were set to meet at Stamford Bridge on the same night.
