Manchester City Confirm Ghana’s Antoine Semenyo Signing, Forward to Wear No. 42

Manchester City have officially announced the signing of Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo, with the club confirming that he will wear the number 42 shirt. Following the announcement, Semenyo explained the personal meaning behind his choice of squad number, revealing that it takes him back to the early days of his professional career. “It was my first number at Bristol City when I first signed and that always stuck with me,” he said. “It was either 42 or 24, and 24 wasn’t available so I went back to my first number.” The number 42 holds special significance for the forward, symbolising the beginning of his journey in professional football and serving as a reminder of how far he has come.

From Bayern despair to Liverpool brilliance – the rise of Gravenberch

When Ryan Gravenberch was the newest stellar young talent to roll off Ajax's prodigious production line, he had the label of "the new Frank Rijkaard" draped around his shoulders. The burden of comparison to the great Rijkaard, who won the Champions League, European Cup Winners' Cup and five Eredivisie titles with Ajax – as well as two European Cups with AC Milan – was a heavy one. When Gravenberch left Ajax for one season of struggle at Bayern Munich, there were fears that the rich and obvious potential the young midfielder possessed might not be fulfilled. Instead, rescued by Liverpool in a £34m deal in September 2023, then nurtured by countryman Arne Slot after he succeeded Jurgen Klopp a season later, Gravenberch now stands comfortably along Europe's best in his position.
