Semenyo says he wants to ‘rewrite history again’ after joining Man City
Antoine Semenyo said Friday that he wants to “rewrite history again” at Manchester City after joining from Bournemouth for a reported fee of £65 million ($87 million).....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The 26-year-old, who has scored 10 Premier League goals this season, has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at the Etihad and will be a major addition to their attacking arsenal.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham were also interested in the London-born Ghana international, who had a buyout clause that was understood to expire on Saturday.

The widely trailed transfer is the first major move by Premier League clubs in the January window.
“I have watched City over the last decade under Pep Guardiola, and they have been the dominant team in the Premier League as well as achieving amazing things in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup,” said Semenyo.
“They have set the highest of standards and it’s a club with world-class players, world-class facilities and one of the greatest managers ever in Pep.”
The winger said he wanted to be part of City’s rebuild after a barren season last year and the departure of a number of senior players.
“I feel I’m improving but there are so many young players here who I think will be top players,” he said.
“I want to be part of that, and I want to rewrite history again.”
His final act after three years with Bournemouth was scoring a spectacular stoppage-time winner in Wednesday’s 3-2 victory against Tottenham.
City, dethroned as Premier League champions by Liverpool last season, have signed Semenyo to boost their challenge for silverware on four fronts in 2026.
Guardiola’s men trail Arsenal by six points at the top of the Premier League and are still involved in the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League.
City’s options in wide areas are currently limited, with Savinho out injured and Omar Marmoush representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.
– Meteoric rise –
Semenyo has enjoyed a meteoric rise since being shipped out on loan multiple times by Bristol City early in his career.
He eventually earned his move to the Premier League in 2023 and has blossomed into one of the most potent wingers in the top division under Andoni Iraola.
Guardiola confirmed at his pre-match press conference that Semenyo would be in his squad for City’s FA Cup clash with third-tier Exeter on Saturday.
“Everybody knows the qualities (he has) — he was playing extraordinarily at Bournemouth in the last few years and can play both sides,” said the City boss.
“He’s the perfect age, the best years are to come, all the clubs try to bring in young players but he will make his career and best years here.”
City are also in the market to boost their defensive options after losing Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol to injuries.
Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is reportedly their prime target.

Football managers earn vast sums both during and after their careers, but only a select few have built truly enormous fortunes.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Based on estimated earnings, contracts and business ventures, these are the 10 richest football managers in the world in 2026.
Topping the list is Wayne Rooney, whose wealth was largely accumulated during his legendary playing career at Manchester United.
Despite struggling in management and being sacked by Plymouth Argyle in late 2024, Rooney’s estimated net worth stands at a staggering £170million.
Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone follows in second place, boosted by his status as the highest-paid manager in world football.
Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are tied in third, both estimated to be worth around £100million, reports Planet Football.
While Guardiola continues to earn huge sums at Manchester City, Mourinho has famously banked massive compensation packages from multiple sackings.
Zinedine Zidane, Steven Gerrard and Sir Alex Ferguson also feature prominently, having combined elite coaching salaries with lucrative playing careers.
Carlo Ancelotti, Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger round out the top 10, proving longevity at the top pays handsomely.
Pep Guardiola Only Third As Rooney Tops The List
Guardiola’s position may surprise many, given his dominance with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
However, Rooney’s peak Premier League wages, endorsements and post-retirement income place him comfortably ahead.
Simeone’s £25.9million annual salary at Atlético Madrid has propelled him above most of his rivals.
Meanwhile, Klopp and Wenger remain among football’s wealthiest figures despite stepping away from day-to-day club management.
With rising salaries and new global roles emerging, this list could look very different again by 2027.

Nigeria–Morocco: Referee Daniel Laryea’s performance looked like he was told what to do – Ghanaian claims
A Ghanaian social media commentator, Bongo Ideas, has sparked fresh debate after criticising the referee who officiated the tense match between Nigeria and host nation Morocco.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The centre referee, Daniel Laryea, came under heavy scrutiny following the just concluded encounter, which ended Nigeria’s campaign and favoured the host country.
Claims of biased officiating
In a Facebook post that quickly gained attention, Bongo Ideas alleged that Daniel Laryea’s performance appeared influenced before the match even began.
He wrote:
“— gave cheap fouls to Morocco
— gave Nigerian players (Calvin Bassey) unnecessary yellow
— never gave Morocco players a yellow
— didn’t allow the game to freely flow
— was under immense pressure
— penalty or not Daniel Laryea had a 4/10 game
— AFCON is rigged for host nations to win!
I’m a Ghanaian and also a Ga buh let’s call a spade a spade…that performance from Daniel Laryea felt and looked like he was told what to do on the field before he stepped out. He let Ghana down!”
Nigerians react online
The post generated widespread reactions, with many Nigerians sharing mixed views on the referee’s conduct and the match outcome.
Gold wrote: “I’m a Nigerian but It’s football and the host Nation deserves to get to the finals, Morocco has invested a lot, if it’s easy to be a Host Nation Other African Countries should step and do better.
“Did you see world class stadiums they have?. I don’t know how CAF managed to buy the ref or however it was done, kudos to Morocco they fought hard.”
Rahman wrote: “They should never blame the referee for any reason… Playing 90min + Injury time + 30min extra time with only 2 shots on target…. Do they want the Referee to play the penalty for them?…👆😂😂😂”
More divided opinions
Other commenters dismissed claims of bias and urged Nigerians to accept the result.
BestBoi wrote: “Masa no blame referee, Make Nigeria accept defeat and move on 😂😂😂”
Agulu said: “Who can a Ghanaian even officiate a game in which Nigeria is involved? Definitely obvious.”
Stanley wrote: “Sometimes you no dey make sense one bit but we dey manage am. You refer to an extra time plus penalty shootout match as rigged?”
The debate continues online, with football fans across Africa sharply divided over the referee’s performance and the influence of host nations in major tournaments.

Head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has spoken about the possibility of their semi-final clash with Morocco at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations going to a penalty shoot-out.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
So far, only the last-16 clash between Mali and Tunisia was decided via spot-kicks at the tournament.
Nigeria lost by penalties to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 2026 World Cup intercontinental playoff in November.
And when asked about his team’s preparations for a shoot-out in case the match against the Atlas Lions extends beyond extra-time, Chelle replied: “I will go to the mosque to pray to win if we get to a penalty shootout.”
If the Eagles are able to beat the host whether in regulation time or penalties, they will take on Senegal or Egypt in Sunday’s final.
