Antoine Semenyo believes he is in the perfect place to thrive after scoring in each of his first two games for Manchester City. The Ghana international has made an instant impact since his £65 million ($87 million) move from Bournemouth last week and netted the opening goal in City’s 2-0 League Cup semi-final, first leg win at Newcastle on Tuesday.
Semenyo, who scored in a 10-1 thrashing of Exeter in the FA Cup on Saturday, also had a second goal controversially ruled out by a lengthy VAR review at St. James’ Park.
