‘I think so’ – Pep Guardiola makes transfer admission on out-of-favour star following Antoine Semenyo arrival

The writing was on the wall for Bobb the moment City sanctioned the £65 million deal to bring Semenyo to the club earlier this month. The former Bournemouth forward has not just arrived to make up the numbers; he has exploded onto the scene in sky blue.

Semenyo has already endeared himself to the Etihad faithful with “incredible energy” and, crucially, goals, finding the net against Exeter City in the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle and again in the Premier League victory over Wolves. His physical dynamism and direct running have offered Guardiola a different profile of attacker, one that the manager is clearly eager to utilise immediately.

With Semenyo joining an attacking corps that already includes Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku and Savinho the competition for places on the wings has never been more intense.
