Semenyo joined Manchester City from Bournemouth during the second half of the 2025/26 season and has quickly established himself as an important figure in the clubâs attacking setup. His combination of strength, pace, determination and versatility has added another dimension to Cityâs forward line.
Haaland, who has shared the pitch with Semenyo since his arrival at the Etihad Stadium, believes the Ghana international possesses almost everything required to succeed at the highest level.
Speaking about his teammate, the Norwegian said: âHe's the perfect Premier League player. Physical, just the whole, total package. A bit like me.â
The comments underline the strong impression Semenyo has made on one of the worldâs most prolific strikers. Haalandâs comparison is particularly significant, given the physical and clinical qualities that have made him such a dominant force in English football.
Semenyo once again demonstrated his value over the weekend when Manchester City faced Coventry City. The Ghanaian provided the assist for Haaland, who scored the only goal of the game to secure a vital victory for City.
The result ensured that Guardiolaâs side maintained their winning start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign, while Semenyoâs contribution further highlighted his growing influence within the team.
For Ghanaian football fans, Haalandâs praise will be another encouraging sign of Semenyoâs progress at one of Europeâs biggest clubs.
The forward has already shown that he can compete physically with some of the strongest defenders in the Premier League, while his ability to create opportunities for teammates makes him even more valuable.
His developing partnership with Haaland could also become one of Manchester Cityâs most dangerous attacking combinations. With Haaland providing the finishing touch and Semenyo offering power, movement and creativity, City have the ingredients for a formidable frontline.
As the new season gathers momentum, Semenyo will be hoping to continue making his mark in Manchester City colours.
And if Haalandâs assessment is anything to go by, the Ghanaian has already convinced one of the biggest stars in the squad that he has the qualities needed to thrive at the very top.
