Now, ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season, YEN.com.gh takes a look at the Ghanaian internationals expected to feature.
Antoine Semenyo - Manchester City
As usual, after signing a contract that expires in June 2031, Antoine Semenyo is expected to feature for Manchester City next season following his impressive debut campaign at Etihad.
Known for his pace, power, and direct attacking style, Semenyo adds another dimension to Pep Guardiola’s squad, scoring 8 goals in 19 matches for the Cityzens.
According to Transfermarkt data, Semenyo contributed a goal in four matches as Man City lifted the 2026 Carabao Cup, beating Arsenal 2-0 at Wembley Stadium on March 22, 2026.
Mohammed Kudus - Tottenham
Mohammed Kudus is set to remain a key figure in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur, provided the club avoids relegation.
Kudus, who is contracted to Spurs till June 2031, quickly built a reputation as one of Tottenham's most technically gifted players at the start of the current season when Thomas Frank was in charge.
However, on January 4 this year, the Nima-born talent picked up an injury during a Premier League game against Sunderland and has since not been involved in any Spurs match.
Brandon Thomas-Asante - Coventry
Brandon Thomas-Asante completes the trio after helping Coventry City secure a dramatic return to the Premier League.
According to the BBC, Coventry’s promotion ends a 25-year absence from the top division, marking a historic achievement for the club.
Meanwhile, Thomas-Asante has been central to their success, contributing 12 goals and four assists in the campaign.
His energy, pressing ability, and attacking movement have made him one of Coventry’s standout performers under Frank Lampard.

Now set for Premier League football, he has the opportunity to prove himself at the highest level and strengthen his case for a regular role with the Black Stars of Ghana.
