Yaya Touré endorses Semenyo’s City Switch as Guardiola Fast-Tracks Ghana Star into Action
Twist:
Antoine Semenyo’s move to Manchester City has received an early stamp of approval from one of the club’s most revered figures, with Yaya Touré hailing the transfer as a defining moment in the forward’s career.
The former City midfield general praised Semenyo’s rise to the elite level, describing the switch as both “incredible” and richly deserved for the 26-year-old Ghanaian attacker. Touré’s public message underscored the significance of the move, especially for an African forward breaking into one of Europe’s most demanding squads.
City wasted little time integrating their new signing. Semenyo linked up immediately with Pep Guardiola’s team following the announcement of the deal, a move that reflects the club’s urgency amid a packed fixture schedule.
Guardiola confirmed the forward would be part of the matchday squad for the FA Cup third-round clash, signalling immediate trust in Semenyo’s readiness and versatility in attack.
Arriving from Bournemouth, Semenyo brings momentum and confidence, having netted 10 Premier League goals in just 20 appearances this season — form that not only caught City’s attention but also convinced club legends that he is ready for the biggest stage.
