Ghanaian footballer Antoine Semenyo has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for September. He played every minute of Manchester City's five league victories during the month, contributing four goal contributions, scoring twice and providing two assists. His impressive performances have put him in contention for the award, alongside other top players.
Semenyo's first assist came in the 1-0 win over Coventry City, where his cross picked out Erling Haaland for the only goal of the game. He then played a key role in the 2-1 victory over Manchester United before producing his most productive outing of the month against Sunderland. In the 5-3 win at the Etihad Stadium, Semenyo assisted Rayan Cherki before finding the net twice.
The 26-year-old now has three assists in the league this season and has continued to establish himself as an important attacking option for Pep Guardiola. His performance also earned him a nomination for the Premier League's Player of the Matchweek award. Semenyo is no stranger to the monthly award, having won the February prize after scoring three goals and providing an assist in five Premier League appearances.
Semenyo's success in February made him only the third Ghanaian to win the award, after Tony Yeboah and Andre Ayew. A second triumph would see Semenyo add another individual honour to what has been a productive start to his time at Manchester City. He will be competing against top players, including Liverpool duo Alexander Isak and Jeremy Jacquet.
Despite his impressive performances, Semenyo was initially named in Ghana's squad for the September international window but withdrew after suffering a swollen leg. He will therefore miss the Black Stars' 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Ivory Coast and the home clash with The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 29, 2026.
The Premier League Player of the Month award is a prestigious honour, and Semenyo's nomination is a testament to his hard work and dedication. The award will be announced soon, and Semenyo will be hoping to add to his collection of individual honours. His competitors for the award include Jayden Bogle, Mohamed Bellouni, Pascal Gross, Kevin Schade, and Charalampos Kostoulas.
Semenyo's performances have been impressive, and his nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award is well-deserved. He has been a key player for Manchester City, and his contributions have helped the team maintain their perfect start to the campaign. The Ghanaian footballer will be looking to continue his impressive form and help his team achieve success in the league.
