Antoine Semenyo to Man City odds slashed after key development revealed
Antoine Semenyo has continued to be linked away from Bournemouth after an impressive start to the 2025-26 campaign.
The Cherries winger has eight goals and three assists in the Premier League to date in 16 matches.
For his performances, Semenyo has been widely praised in the Premier League after emerging as one of the stars of the season.
As a result, multiple teams are pursuing a deal for the Ghana international, including Manchester City.
Man City joint-favourites to sign Antoine Semenyo
Semenyo has a release clause in his contract in January, which has increased the interest in the Bournemouth star. However, this expires halfway through the month.
As a result, Manchester United and Liverpool have been heavily pursuing the winger in the hope of bolstering their attack.
However, last week, news broke that Man City have held talks to sign Semenyo.
It would no doubt be a significant coup for Pep Guardiola as he looks to return the Premier League title to the Etihad this season.
Now, this has seen the odds of Semenyo joining Man City go down to just 5/2, according to one bookmaker on 22 December, with Oddschecker confirming that these have been shortened.
This puts Guardiola’s side joint-favourite to secure his services alongside Liverpool and Man United.
The chance of Semenyo staying at Bournemouth are now 4/1, with these odds drifting.
Semenyo’s Premier League form explained
According to Fotmob on 22 December, Semenyo has been excellent to date so far this Premier League season.
The winger is averaging 2.38 per game, which has resulted in eight goals.
This is despite Semenyo having just an xG of 5.36, making him a heavy overperformer this season.
On top of this, the Ghana international is also creative, producing 0.19 assists and 1.44 chances per game.
| Antoine Semenyo’s Premier League stats this season | Per 90 minutes |
| Goals | 0.50 |
| Assists | 0.19 |
| Shots | 2.38 |
| xG | 0.34 |
| Chances created | 1.44 |
| Successful dribbles | 1.56 |
| Touches in opposition box | 4.82 |
Therefore, whoever manages to win the race for Semenyo could easily have one of the best attackers in the division on their hands.
Guardiola will be hoping his side are now leading the race. However, with there still being plenty of days between now and the transfer window opening, anything can tip the scales.
