Ghana international Antoine Semenyo completed his first training session with Manchester City today, Friday, January 9, 2026, officially marking his arrival at the club following a permanent transfer from AFC Bournemouth.

Earlier, Erling Haaland shared a selfie with Semenyo before the club released photos of him in training. The 25-year-old striker joined his new teammates on the pitch and is available for selection in Saturday’s FA Cup third-round match against Exeter City.

Semenyo’s signing was confirmed earlier on Friday, and his immediate involvement underscores both his commitment and Manchester City’s need for added attacking depth. Pep Guardiola confirmed in a pre-match press conference that Semenyo would be part of the matchday squad for the tie.

Known for his remarkable physical transformation and dedication to training, Semenyo arrives in impressive form, having scored 10 Premier League goals in 20 appearances for Bournemouth this season. His journey to the Etihad has been unconventional; while on loan at Bath City, he once trained with two different non-league teams in a single day to maintain his fitness.

The addition of Semenyo provides City with another potent attacking option as they navigate a congested schedule across multiple competitions.
