Ghanaian football star Antoine Semenyo has been nominated for the EA SPORTS Premier League Player of the Month award for September following an impressive start to the 2026/27 season with Manchester City.
The 26-year-old forward has played a key role in Manchester City’s strong run during the month, featuring for the full 90 minutes in each of the club’s five Premier League victories in September.
Semenyo recorded two goals and two assists during the month, contributing significantly to City’s attacking performances.
Semenyo Impresses for Manchester City
Semenyo registered his first assist in September during Manchester City’s 1-0 victory over newly promoted Coventry City.
The Ghana international delivered the cross that allowed Erling Haaland to score the only goal of the match.
He was also involved in Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Manchester United, before producing his most influential performance of the month against Sunderland.
In City’s thrilling 5-3 victory over Sunderland, Semenyo first provided an assist for Rayan Cherki before scoring twice himself in an eight-goal Premier League encounter.
Ghana Star Among Premier League Assist Leaders
Semenyo’s performances have also improved his individual statistics in the Premier League 2026/27 season.
The Manchester City forward now has three assists in the league this season, placing him among the joint-leading assist providers in the division.
Since joining Manchester City in January, Semenyo has made 34 appearances across all competitions, recording 13 goals and six assists.
His consistent performances have made him an important part of Manchester City’s attacking options.
Semenyo Chasing Second Premier League Monthly Award
The latest nomination gives Semenyo an opportunity to claim his second Premier League Player of the Month award.
The Ghana international previously won the award in February, and he is now competing for another monthly prize following his strong September performances.
Semenyo faces competition from Mohamed Bellouni, Jayden Bogle, Pascal Gross, Charalampos Kostoulas, Alexander Isak, Jeremy Jacquet and Kevin Schade.
The nomination adds another individual recognition to what has been an impressive period for the Ghanaian forward since his move to Manchester City.
Semenyo Withdraws From Ghana Squad
Despite his strong club form, Semenyo was unable to feature for the Ghana Black Stars during the September international break.
He was initially included in Ghana’s squad but subsequently withdrew after suffering from a swollen leg.
As a result, Semenyo missed Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.
His absence was a setback for the Black Stars, but his performances for Manchester City have continued to attract attention ahead of the next international window.
Semenyo Continues Strong Manchester City Form
With two goals and two assists during September, Semenyo has strengthened his case for the Premier League Player of the Month award.
His contribution to Manchester City’s five league victories, combined with his growing goal and assist numbers, underlines his importance to the club’s attacking setup.
The nomination also highlights the continued rise of Antoine Semenyo in English football as he establishes himself among Manchester City’s key attacking players.
