Pep Guardiola played a significant role in Manchester City’s signing of Antoine Semenyo, describing him as an “extraordinary” player. The City manager had been tracking Semenyo for “a few years” and personally led the pursuit of the Ghanaian winger. Guardiola praised Semenyo’s versatility, pace, and ability to play on both sides, making him a valuable addition to the team.
Guardiola’s influence on the transfer was evident in his comments, highlighting Semenyo’s qualities and expressing his delight at securing the player’s signature. The manager also revealed that City had been monitoring Semenyo’s progress for some time, and his arrival addresses the team’s need for reinforcement in the attacking department.
Semenyo’s signing is seen as a strategic move by Guardiola to bolster City’s squad, particularly with injuries to key players like Savinho and Oscar Bobb. The winger is expected to make an immediate impact, potentially featuring in City’s FA Cup clash against Exeter City.
