Pep Guardiola has launched a furious attack on the standard of officiating in English football, demanding a personal explanation from PGMOL chief Howard Webb following a chaotic VAR review. Despite Manchester City securing a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle, the Catalan manager was left seething after Antoine Semenyo was denied a second goal, reigniting a simmering feud over past injustices including last season's heartbreaking FA Cup final defeat.
Antoine Semenyo continued to pay off his £65m transfer fee as Manchester City's brand new signing scored for the second game running to help his side to a 2-0 win at Newcastle in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, putting Pep Guardiola's side on the fast lane to Wembley. Semenyo became the first City player since Emmanuel Adebayor back in 2009 to score in his first two games for the club.
Eddie Howe has taken aim at a rule change allowing Manchester City’s £65 million signing Antoine Semenyo to face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. The forward played for Bournemouth earlier in the tournament, but new regulations have scrapped ‘cup-tied’ rules. It leaves Howe rueing his luck as he battles a severe defensive injury crisis ahead of the semi-final first leg at St James' Park.
Antoine Semenyo left a lasting impression on his new Manchester City teammates with his man of the match performance in the Sky Blues 10-1 win over Exeter City in the third round of the FA Cup. The former Bournemouth man grabbed a goal and an assist, prompting Rico Lewis to say the Ghanaian international made a "seamless transition" into Pep Guardiola's side.
Manchester City opened up their FA Cup campaign with a barely believable 10-1 victory over Exeter City in the third round on Saturday. Antoine Semenyo scored and assisted on his debut for the Cityzens, while youngster Max Alleyne also netted his first goal for the club, as Pep Guardiola's side swept aside their League One opponents at the Etihad Stadium.
When Antoine Semenyo was asked to describe his style just after signing for Manchester City from Bournemouth, he used four adjectives. "Quick", "powerful" and "strong" are words you would use to describe most Premier League forwards but the last one summed up why City have paid £65 million ($87m) to bring him to the club in the middle of the season: "Clinical".
Antoine Semenyo’s squad number at Manchester City has been revealed, on the back of his £62.5 million ($84m) transfer from Bournemouth. The Ghana international, who is excited to be taking on a new challenge at the Etihad Stadium, is inheriting an iconic jersey. He is, however, adamant that Blues legend Yaya Toure had no bearing on his decision to take No.42.
Manchester City have announced the signing of Antoine Semenyo on a long-term contract from Premier League rivals Bournemouth. The Ghana international winger has penned a deal at the Etihad Stadium through to the summer of 2031. The transfer package involved is said to come in at £62.5 million ($84m), with it possible that said fee could rise by a further £1.5m if certain targets are hit.
Antoine Semenyo bid farewell to Bournemouth in the best possible fashion, netting a 95th-minute winner against Tottenham at the Vitality Stadium to end his side's 11-match run without a Premier League victory. As his team-mate Marcus Tavernier told Sky Sports, "There was no better way for [his last game] to go. That was the type of stuff you write in movies and no man deserves it more than him."
Antoine Semenyo appears destined to leave Bournemouth for Manchester City in a £65 million ($87m) deal, but Jamie Redknapp has predicted a “twist” that could yet see the Ghana international end up at Liverpool. No move for the 26-year-old forward has been signed off as yet, meaning that he could still be lured away from the Etihad Stadium and over to Anfield.
Antoine Semenyo delivered the perfect parting gift to Bournemouth fans ahead of his move to Manchester City later this week. The departing Cherries star rifled home a 95th-minute winner against Tottenham with what could prove to be his final touch for the club, topping off what was an electric and unpredictable evening on the south coast under the lights.
Antoine Semenyo is set to make his final appearance for Bournemouth before joining Manchester City when the Cherries host Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night, with a medical reportedly booked for the following day. The winger has been heavily linked with a move away this transfer window, with a £65 million ($87.7m) release clause set to expire on January 10.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has offered an update on Antoine Semenyo amid talk the winger is on the brink of a £65 million move to Manchester City. Semenyo played for Bournemouth against Arsenal on Saturday and, according to his manager, is set to feature for the Cherries again on Wednesday night against Tottenham in the Premier League at the Vitality Stadium.
Manchester City have reportedly taken another huge stride towards completing a big-money transfer for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo. The Ghana international is expected to be on the move in the January window as there is a £65 million ($87m) clause in his contract with the Cherries that can be triggered by any of his many suitors. He could soon be heading to the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester United have been told that Antoine Semenyo could become another Cristiano Ronaldo or David Beckham for them, with the Ghana international poised to leave Bournemouth in the January transfer window. The Red Devils form part of that £65 million ($87m) race, and Dwight Yorke has urged them to pip Premier League rivals to a much sought-after signature.
Andoni Iraola has made it clear that Antoine Semenyo is still an "important player" for Bournemouth despite his reportedly imminent move to Manchester City, insisting he will feature against Arsenal this weekend. Speculation around Semenyo’s future has intensified as the winter window approaches, with City increasingly confident of triggering the winger’s £65 million ($86m) release clause. Yet Iraola has no intention of sidelining his most influential attacker while the Cherries fight to arrest a worrying slide in form.
