Antoine Semenyo’s rise at Manchester City shows no sign of slowing down. The Ghana international has quickly become one of Pep Guardiola’s most trusted weapons, delivering goals and influence since his arrival from Bournemouth just over two months ago.
In only 12 appearances, the 26-year-old has contributed directly to nine goals, finding the net seven times and supplying two assists.
His latest highlight came against Nottingham Forest, where a stunning volley underlined his growing confidence and technical quality.

Semenyo rated EPL’s most in-form forward
Statistics now back up what fans have been witnessing.
According to Whoscored.com, Semenyo is the highest-rated forward in the division across the last six matches, posting a 7.63 average score.
He sits above several established names. His own colleague Erling Haaland trails with 7.36, while Brenden Aaronson, Morgan Rogers and Mikel Merino complete the top four behind him.
Watch Semenyo's volley against Nottingham:
Joao Pedro, Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Matheus Cunha and Mateus Mane also feature on the shortlist.
The rankings apply strictly to players who started in attacking roles during that stretch, which explains Merino’s inclusion.
Over those six outings, the Black Stars attacker has averaged 1.2 goals per 90 minutes and attempted 3.5 shots per game, numbers that reflect sharp movement and relentless intent.
Below is the full ranking:
Rank | Player | Rating |
1 | Antoine Semenyo | 7.63 |
2 | Brenden Aaronson | 7.59 |
3 | Morgan Rogers | 7.54 |
4 | Mikel Merino | 7.49 |
5 | Joao Pedro | 7.46 |
6 | Erling Haaland | 7.36 |
7 | Benjamin Sesko | 7.25 |
8 | Hugo Ekitiké | 7.24 |
9 | Matheus Cunha | 7.18 |
10 | Mateus Mané | 7.13 |
Further data from Squawka highlights his broader impact. Among Premier League performers, only Viktor Gyokeres has registered more goal involvements in all competitions since January. The Arsenal striker has 10, one more than Semenyo’s nine.
City suffers setback despite Semenyo's form
Despite his dazzling performances, Manchester City faltered in their most recent match.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson found the net to overturn Rodri’s 62nd-minute strike, a result that saw Pep Guardiola’s side lose ground on Arsenal in the title race.
The slip proved costly. Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Brighton stretched the gap at the summit to seven points, although Guardiola’s side has played one match fewer than the north London outfit.
Attention now turns to a demanding week. A meeting with Newcastle United awaits on March 11, marking another chapter in a rivalry that has already produced three encounters in 2026. After that, a clash with West Ham United follows on March 14.
For Semenyo, the mission remains clear. Maintain this explosive rhythm and give City every chance of closing the distance before the curtain falls on the campaign.
