Ghanaian winger antoine semenyo among top premier league transfer nominees

Antoine Semenyo, Ghana’s dynamic winger, finds himself in a tight selection race for the Premier League’s standout transfer of the season. The 24-year-old attacker has made a significant impact since joining Manchester City during the winter transfer window of 2026.

Semenyo’s transition to Manchester City has been nothing short of impressive. In just 17 league appearances, he has already netted seven goals and contributed one assist, showcasing his attacking prowess and adaptability within Pep Guardiola’s high-tempo system.

Before his move to the Etihad Stadium, Semenyo was already turning heads at Bournemouth. During the first half of the 2025-26 season, he delivered a stellar performance with 10 goals and three assists in 20 matches, demonstrating his consistency and reliability in front of goal.

“Antoine Semenyo’s impact at Manchester City has been immediate. In 17 appearances, he has already recorded seven goals and one assist, helping the team secure 10 wins, five draws, and just two defeats. His three-goal, one-assist haul in February earned him the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award—a testament to his clutch performances when it mattered most.”

The Ghanaian international is now competing against a formidable list of Premier League stars for the prestigious transfer accolade. His rivals include João Pedro (Chelsea), Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal), Senne Lammens (Manchester United), Adrien Truffert (Bournemouth), Granit Xhaka (Sunderland), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United), and Rayan Cherki (Manchester City).
