Ghanaian joined the Cityzens for £65m this winter
Antoine Semenyo says he is “proud” to be a Manchester City player and he can sense that his best football will come at the club.
Semenyo joined City from Bournemouth this January after they activated his £65m release clause. City’s Director football Hugo Viana said they were eager to recruit some of the best talent in world football and bring them to the Etihad.
“We are constantly watching players all over the world, Antoine was the one we most wanted,” Viana said.
“He has shown he can perform in the Premier League. He is humble, hard-working, professional and totally focused on being a better footballer. He is ideal for us.”
The Ghanaian, who scored 11 goals in 37 league appearances for Bournemouth last term and 10 goals in 20 this term, said: “I am so proud to have joined Manchester City. I watched City over the last decade under Pep Guardiola, and they have been the dominant team in the Premier League as well as achieving amazing things in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
“I have so much scope for improvement, so to be at this club, at this stage of my career, is perfect for me. It’s a real privilege to be here.
“My best football is yet to come, I am sure of that. City are in a great position, still involved in four competitions. I really feel I can help them have a strong second half of the season.”
