The Black Stars forward has been rewarded with his first English Premier League Player of the month award after a series of amazing performances last month.

Manchester City attacker Antoine Semenyo has been voted the Premier League Player of the Month for February, marking an impressive first full month at the club after joining from AFC Bournemouth in January.

The Ghana international hit the ground running in his first full month at City, scoring three times and providing one assist in five games in February.

Semenyo had to beat off competition from Viktor Gyokeres, Dango Ouattara, Benjamin Sesko, Virgil van Dijk and his team-mate Nico O’Reilly to clinch the coveted accolade.

“This is a brilliant moment for me. To win the Premier League Player of the Month award so soon after joining City is something I’ll never forget,” Semenyo told the Man City TV

“It’s been such an amazing start to life at this club. I am learning so much every day and I honestly feel I am already a better player.

“I have been made to feel welcome from day one, which means I have been able to stay focused on the pitch and do my best.

“My focus now is on continuing to improve and helping City to achieve the best possible results. We have so much to play for and I am really excited about this final period of the season.”

The first of his strikes in February was a clinical left-footed finish in the 2-2 at Spurs before an instinctive finish and slide-rule pass assist in the 3-0 win over Fulham.

The 26-year-old becomes the second City player to claim this prize this season, after Erling Haaland in September.

Semenyo has now scored 15 goals and provided four assists in 28 Premier League matches in the ongoing season so far.
