Antoine Semenyo is set to have a medical at Manchester City on Wednesday, marking the latest development in his highly anticipated transfer from Bournemouth. The Ghanaian winger has been linked with several top-tier clubs, including Chelsea and Liverpool, but City are confident they can secure him for £65m.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed an impressive season at the Cherries, scoring nine goals and providing three assists, making him a sought-after talent in the Premier League. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola believes Semenyo is "almost impossible to replace", highlighting the impact he's had on the team this campaign.
Semenyo's transfer was widely expected after City made formal contact with Bournemouth, but it remains to be seen whether the Cherries can resist the £65m offer. The deadline for activating his release clause looms large at 10 January, when City are likely to have completed their move before kick-off against Tottenham on Wednesday.
The arrival of Semenyo would significantly strengthen City's squad and bolster their attacking options. His pace and skillset could prove a perfect fit for Pep Guardiola's high-intensity press, making him an exciting addition to the club's ranks.
Despite interest from multiple clubs, Semenyo has consistently expressed his desire to join City in recent weeks. A move to Manchester would be a dream come true for the 24-year-old, who is set to become one of the most expensive signings of the transfer window.

I think £65m is bloody steep for him 
. He's got potential, no doubt about that, but you can't put a price on youth and experience... yet! Pep needs players with legs not just talent 
. What if he doesn't hit his stride at City? He's got 24 years of football left in him, we don't know how he'll adapt. Chelsea and Liverpool would've been better off paying more for a settled player... or maybe I'm just being cautious 
. £65m is steep but I think it's worth it for the kind of impact he could have on our squad 
. Can't wait to see him in action! 
️! semenyo's got game and he knows its gonna take him to the top 
£65m is steep but if pep thinks he can do it then trust the guy 
. bournemouth's lost alot of firepower in him and i dont think they can replace him thats what iraola said and honestly i agree he was on fire this season 
. semenyo wants city tho so its just a matter of time now 
.
and i love how confident pep guardiola is about this transfer 
he's got some skills but is £65m really worth it? i mean, what if the transfer doesn't go thru and he ends up being a bust? that'd be a major waste of money 
i'm curious to c how much of a difference he'll make, but if the rumors r true, it's gonna be BIG 
! 65 million quid is a pretty penny, but if City think he's worth it, I say go for it! He sounds like an absolute star player - that pace and skillset would be a game-changer in the Premier League. I mean, Pep Guardiola is known for getting the best out of his players, so I'm sure Semenyo will fit right in at City 
. Bournemouth are gonna miss him, though... almost impossible to replace? 
that's high praise! Fingers crossed they can hold firm on the release clause and don't get caught out 
. The £65m price tag is steep but if he delivers on the pitch, it'll be worth every penny 
, Andoni Iraola says he's "almost impossible to replace" which is not a good thing for Cherries fans 
!
but at 65m it's a big ask for Bournemouth, they gotta decide if they wanna let him go 
but for real though Manchester City gotta make sure they're getting the best player out there, Pep Guardiola knows what's up 
Semenyo's pace and skillset would be a game changer for City, can't wait to see him on the pitch
