Pep Guardiola praise as Antoine Semenyo wins Premier League Player of the Month

Pep Guardiola has shared his delight after Antoine Semenyo was named Premier League Player of the Month for February, marking a major milestone in the forward’s first full month at Manchester City.

Speaking at his press conference, the City boss kept his reaction simple but heartfelt. “I’m so happy for him,” Guardiola said. “He’s an incredible guy. He deserves it.”

Semenyo has quickly made himself at home in a star-studded City side. In February alone, he scored three goals and provided one assist in five appearances, showcasing his direct running, sharp movement and clinical finishing.

His rapid rise is even more remarkable given his journey, having played in non-league football and worked his way through all four professional divisions in England before shining on the Champions League stage this week.

Overall, the 26-year-old has enjoyed a superb Premier League campaign so far, playing 25 games, scoring 15 goals and delivering 4 assists, underlining just how influential he has become in City’s attack. Guardiola’s praise only reinforces the sense that this is a player enjoying the best spell of his career and one determined to keep climbing.
