Antoine Semenyo

Key strength: Pace and dribbling

Wide creator

In a Manchester City squad blessed with generational talent, Antoine Semenyo has carved out a role that makes him irreplaceable. While City sit second in the Premier League navigating an inconsistent patch of form (D-L-D-W-W), the 26-year-old Ghanaian winger has been their attacking constant—delivering 15 goals and 5 assists across 31 appearances, a goal contribution every 132 minutes that ranks among the league's elite wide forwards. Operating as a devastating inside forward, Semenyo has weaponized his 83-rated shooting by cutting inside from the right flank onto his lethal left foot, a move defenders have learned to fear. His €65 million valuation reflects a remarkable transformation from Bristol City prospect to genuine match-winner under Pep Guardiola. Amidst stars like Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, Semenyo's 2,635 minutes of relentless productivity speak to his indispensability. When the Ghanaian cuts inside at the Etihad, the stadium holds its breath—and more often than not, the net ripples. At 26 and rated 85 overall, Semenyo is hitting his peak exactly when City need him most.
