Done deal - Cityzen Semenyo: He wanted Pep, he'll get Pep

Reading Time: 2min | Wed. 07.01.26. | 14:59

The forward will undergo his medicals on Thursday and become the first Ghanaian in Man City's history, while Marc Guehi is also close to Etihad

The previous January Transfer Window was marked by Manchester City's spending of €218 million on Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis, and Juma Bah.

A year later, the beginning of the new transfer window indicates that the Cityzens will again be the most active club.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Antoine Semenyo's move from Bournemouth to Man City is a done deal, as the ten-time champions of England will splurge €75 million for his arrival. The forward will say goodbye to Vitality Stadium and the Cherries' fans tonight against Tottenham, and undergo his medicals at his new team tomorrow, becoming the first Ghanaian in the history of the Etihad club. Even though several giants wanted him, his top priority was playing under Pep Guardiola.

However, Semenyo won't be the only January gift for the Spanish tactician, as Marc Guehi is reportedly on the verge of becoming a Cityzen.

After the injuries of Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias, who'll be sidelined for a few months and six weeks, respectively, the Manchester side has been under a lot of pressure to react and bring an adequate stand-in, and the Crystal Palace captain seemed like an excellent choice.

The duo will undoubtedly represent a massive reinforcement in City's title race with Arsenal, though Guardiola's injury-hit crew will have to keep up with the Gunners by beating Brighton at home tonight (22.30). Once the newcomers join the team, everything will be much easier.
