It appears to be just a matter of time before Manchester City secures the signing of Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. For the past week, it has seemed clear that the Ghanaian international is destined for the Etihad. Semenyo has expressed his desire to join Pep Guardiola’s team, with only a few details concerning the payment of his release clause left to finalize between City and Bournemouth. Recent reports suggest that Manchester City’s pursuit of Semenyo is now at an advanced stage, and a deal may be wrapped up in the coming days.

According to Lyall Thomas’s report for Sky Sports, discussions between Manchester City and Bournemouth regarding Semenyo’s transfer are in advanced stages.
