Antoine Semenyo Set for Medical at Manchester City

An English press report on Tuesday indicates the medical is scheduled for the Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo, a Bournemouth player, ahead of a move to Manchester City.

Semenyo's name has been linked with a departure from Bournemouth during the current winter window, with interest from England's giants such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.

But reports from England confirm Semenyo has reached an agreement with Manchester City, paving the way to join the Citizens.

According to Sky Sports, the medical is set for next Thursday before an official signing this month.

The report adds City has wrapped up the required 65 million pound clause with Bournemouth.

Semenyo has played 106 times for Bournemouth since joining from Bristol City in January 2023, scoring 30 goals and providing 13 assists.

On a lighter note, if the medical goes smoothly, City may finally have a striker who can score goals and keep up with a punchline or two from this writer.

Punchline 1: If Semenyo hits the ground running, City will have a scorer who can net and net humor in the same breath.

Punchline 2: And if the deal drags on, I hear even the medical staff are asking for a calendar loan because this window feels endless.
