Manchester City have signed Ghana international Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in a deal worth about £65m.

It is a record sale for the Cherries after City met Semenyo’s release clause, which had to be activated before Saturday, and they will pay £62.5m across 24 monthly instalments plus bonuses.

He has signed a contract until 2031 and will wear the number 42 shirt previously worn by Yaya Toure, who won three Premier League titles during his eight years at the club.

“I am so proud to have joined Manchester City,” Semenyo said.

“They have set the highest of standards and it’s a club with world-class players, world-class facilities and one of the greatest managers ever in Pep [Guardiola].

“I have so much scope for improvement, so to be at this club, at this stage of my career, is perfect for me. It’s a real privilege to be here.

“My best football is yet to come, I am sure of that.”

The London-born winger, 26, bid farewell to Bournemouth by scoring a stoppage-time winner in Wednesday’s 3-2 victory against Tottenham.
