Manchester City have completed the signing of Antoine Semenyo, securing the forward as part of their January transfer plans as Pep Guardiola looks to strengthen his attacking options for the second half of the season. The deal marks another statement move by the Premier League champions as they aim to stay competitive on multiple fronts.
Semenyo arrives with a growing reputation for his physical presence, pace, and versatility across the front line. City see the signing as both an immediate boost and a long-term investment, adding depth and energy to an already star-studded squad.
Manchester City strengthen attack in January window
The 25-year-old joins City after impressing consistently at club level, where his direct style and ability to play in multiple attacking roles caught the attention of Guardiola and the recruitment team. Semenyo is comfortable operating on either wing or through the middle, offering tactical flexibility as the season intensifies.
City’s decision to move early in the January window reflects their intent to maintain momentum in the Premier League title race and remain strong contenders in Europe. With a busy fixture schedule ahead, squad depth has been a key priority for the club.
What Antoine Semenyo brings to Pep Guardiola’s squad
Semenyo is known for his work rate, strength in one-on-one situations, and willingness to press from the front — qualities that align closely with Guardiola’s demanding system. His arrival provides competition for places in attack and gives City another option against teams that defend deep or look to play on the counter-attack.
The forward is expected to integrate quickly into the squad and could make his debut in the coming weeks, depending on fitness and tactical requirements. As Manchester City push for more silverware this season, Semenyo’s signing underlines their ambition to stay ahead at the top of English and European football.
