Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo emerges as top contender for Premier League transfer award

Ghana international winger Antoine Semenyo has been named among the shortlisted candidates for this season’s Premier League transfer prize. Since making the high-profile move from Bournemouth to Manchester City during the winter transfer window, the 23-year-old has wasted no time in making his mark on English football’s top tier.

In his first 17 appearances for Manchester City, Semenyo has already contributed 7 goals and 1 assist, showcasing his attacking prowess and ability to influence games. His impact has been particularly notable since February, when he recorded 3 goals and 1 assist in just 5 matches, a performance that earned him the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award—a milestone he achieved for the very first time.

Before his winter transfer, Semenyo had already established himself as a key player for Bournemouth, where he scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in 20 matches during the same season. This consistency across two top-flight clubs has solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in the Premier League.

The Ghanaian star finds himself in stiff competition with several other standout performers for the transfer prize. 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)—all of whom have delivered impressive performances this season.

Semenyo’s rapid adaptation to Manchester City’s style of play, combined with his goal-scoring ability and creative contributions, has positioned him as a frontrunner for the prestigious award. As the season reaches its climax, football fans across the globe will be watching closely to see if the Ghanaian winger can secure this well-deserved recognition.
