Manchester City fans have wasted no time in welcoming Antoine Semenyo to the Etihad Stadium, with a new terrace chant for the £62.5m signing already going viral.
The Ghanaian forward, who joined Pep Guardiola’s side during a busy January transfer window, has made an immediate impact on the pitch.
His blend of raw pace and physical power has provided City with a fresh dimension, helping him integrate seamlessly into the champions’ attacking rotations.
It is not just his stats that are catching the eye, however. The City faithful have been quick to reward his energetic displays with a dedicated song that is rapidly gaining traction both online and in the stands.
The chant takes its inspiration from the early 2000s dance floor, using the upbeat melody of Milky’s “Just The Way You Are”.
Social media clips of supporters rehearsing the tune have racked up thousands of views, with many praising its simple, infectious rhythm.
The lyrics pay homage to Semenyo’s direct style of play while nodding to his budding partnership with fellow arrival Rayan Cherki.
The Semenyo Chant Lyrics: “The way you move, the way you play for City, you’re on the wing together with Cherki. We’re on the p**s, we’re gonna win the league, I love Semenyo, just the way you are.”
Semenyo’s arrival from Bournemouth has bolstered a City squad currently chasing a historic run of silverware.
His versatility—operating across the front three—has already earned him plaudits from the coaching staff.
Observers at the Etihad note that his ability to carry the ball under pressure has eased the transition into the “Guardiola way,” a feat often difficult for mid-season arrivals.
If the 26-year-old maintains this momentum, expect to hear his name ringing out from the away end at every Premier League ground for the remainder of the season.
