Manchester City have completed the signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, and an official announcement will be made on Friday, the Press Association understands.

It is understood the 26-year-old winger has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract at the Etihad Stadium after the clubs agreed an initial fee of £62.5million.

The Ghana international has scored 10 goals and provided three assists for the Cherries in the Premier League this season.

His final act for the south coast club was a stunning stoppage-time winner in a 3-2 victory over Tottenham on Wednesday.

Semenyo had been linked with a number of Premier League clubs but City stepped up their interest as the January transfer window approached.

The formalities of the move, including a medical, were completed on Thursday.

He will provide a boost to City’s attack at a key stage in the title race after recent signs of faltering with three successive draws at the start of 2026.

His arrival also bolsters Pep Guardiola’s squad at a time when numbers are low due to injuries and international call-ups.

London-born Semenyo moves after three years at the Vitality Stadium. He began his career as a teenager with Bristol City and has previously had loan spells with Newport and Sunderland.
