Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo emerges as a top contender for Premier League transfer of the season
Antoine Semenyo, the Ghanaian international winger, has been shortlisted for the Premier League’s Transfer of the Season award. His rapid rise has caught the attention of football fans worldwide, especially after his mid-season switch from Bournemouth to Manchester City.
Since joining the Sky Blues in January 2026, Semenyo has made a strong impression. In just 17 Premier League appearances, he has found the net seven times and provided one assist. His impact has been particularly notable in February, where he scored three goals and added an assist in just five matches, earning him the EA SPORTS Player of the Month accolade for the first time in his career.
Before his move to Manchester City, Semenyo had already delivered impressive numbers with Bournemouth. During the first half of the season, he netted 10 goals and set up three more in 20 league games, showcasing his consistency and attacking prowess.
Now, he finds himself in a fierce competition for the top transfer prize, alongside other standout performers such as João Pedro from Chelsea, Viktor Gyökeres from Arsenal, Senne Lammens from Manchester United, Adrien Truffert from Bournemouth, Granit Xhaka from Sunderland, Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Leeds United, and Rayan Cherki from Manchester City.
