Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo plays for Bournemouth
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has lavished praise on Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo, describing him as an “extraordinary player” ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Guardiola acknowledged the impressive form of the Black Stars attacker, who has been a standout performer for Bournemouth this season.
“It’s not just this season. The way Bournemouth play suits him perfectly. He is an extraordinary player,” Guardiola said, referencing Semenyo’s explosive start to the 2025–2026 campaign.
The 25-year-old has been in superb form, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in nine league appearances so far.
His performances have also earned him a nomination for the Premier League Goal of the Month for October, underscoring his growing influence under Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola.
Semenyo’s Bournemouth have been one of the surprise packages of the season, losing just one of their opening nine matches.
Their impressive run has lifted them into the top two, ahead of several traditional powerhouses, and they will head to Manchester brimming with confidence.
