Done Deal Incoming: Semenyo's £65m Man City Switch – Farewell Bournemouth After Spurs Clash
Manchester City are on the verge of landing one of the January window's biggest prizes: Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo in a £65m deal. The 25-year-old Ghanaian winger is expected to play his final game for the Cherries tonight against Tottenham Hotspur (8:30 PM Nigeria time) before heading north for a medical on Thursday. All parties have agreed in principle to trigger his release clause, with the transfer set to be completed before the weekend. Semenyo has been electric this season, scoring nine goals and adding three assists – making him Bournemouth's talisman. Despite interest from heavyweights like Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham, City moved decisively and won the race. Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admitted yesterday: "I think it could be the last game [vs Spurs]. That is my personal opinion, but there is nothing agreed and nothing signed yet." Iraola praised Semenyo's professionalism amid the speculation, noting he'll start tonight as the Cherries look to end their winless run. For City, Semenyo adds pace, power, and Premier League-proven quality to Pep Guardiola's attacking options. Former club Bristol City will pocket a nice windfall too, thanks to a 20% sell-on clause from his 2023 move. This could be a defining 2026 for the Black Stars forward – Champions League football awaits, plus a shot at World Cup glory with Ghana. Will Semenyo shine under Pep or struggle for minutes in City's stacked squad? Could this be the bargain of the window at £65m? Sound off in the comments – and enjoy the match tonight.
