THE £65M SOLUTION: WHY ANTOINE SEMENYO IS PEP GUARDIOLA’S TOP JANUARY PRIORITY
Manchester City target Antoine Semenyo for £65m to boost their title charge. Read the latest on Marc Guehi and potential exits.
Manchester City are a couple of points behind Arsenal right now, and the January transfer window could be their chance to shake things up.
January's almost here, so expect loads of rumours when the winter transfer window opens. Last January, Pep Guardiola's team dropped £180 million, which is the most they've ever spent in a winter window.
So, what could Man City do in January?
New Players
The city's doing well in both the Premier League and Champions League, so their squad's in pretty good shape. Still, Pep Guardiola keeps saying they need to get better, which suggests they might still bring in some new faces in January. They're already being linked to one big move.
Antoine Semenyo's been on fire this season, catching the eye of big clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United. His old coach even said Antoine could play anywhere he wants. Even so, City seems to be leading the pack to sign the Ghanaian. Even though he just signed a new contract back in July, he could be available for £65 million next month.
With eight goals and three assists already, the 25-year-old is near the top of the list for Premier League goals and assists. Only Erling Haaland and Phil Foden have scored more than three times for Guardiola's team in the league, and Semenyo would definitely give them another goal threat at the Etihad.
Besides Semenyo, it's not clear who else City might go after this winter. They're interested in long-term targets like Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise and Chelsea’s Josh Acheampong. But those deals probably won't happen next month.
Marc Guehi is another name that's been mentioned with a move to City. The England player was close to joining Liverpool in the summer, but that deal fell apart. The centre-back's contract with Crystal Palace is up in the summer, and a bunch of top clubs want to sign him for free. City's one of those clubs and might try to get a deal done in January if Palace decides to sell him.
Players Leaving
A few City players might want to leave this winter, especially with the 2026 World Cup coming up. If Semenyo joins, that would almost definitely mean one of Oscar Bobb, Savinho, or Omar Marmoush leaving.
Bobb hasn't been getting much playing time, only playing 13 league minutes in the last couple of months. He hasn't really impressed when he's had the chance to play. The winger hasn't scored any goals and only has one assist, which was on the first day of the season. The 22-year-old might look for more playing time elsewhere, and Crystal Palace is supposedly interested.
Savinho also hasn't started many games across all competitions. He was almost on his way to Tottenham for £70 million in the summer. But the 21-year-old ended up staying at the Etihad, extending his contract until 2031. Guardiola recently said, "He will become a top, top-class player." But with another winger coming in, he might start looking at other options again. Spurs will probably be interested again.
Marmoush just arrived in Manchester last January, but he might already be on his way out. It's clear he's got talent, but it's not clear where he fits in Guardiola's team. Haaland's the main striker, and it seems like other players are preferred out wide and in the number ten position. A knee injury hasn't helped his start to the season, and he hasn't started in the league since August. Clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham would be interested in Marmoush if he becomes available.
Besides the attackers, a few defenders might also leave the Etihad next month. Nathan Aké has been with City for almost five years now. But he's not a regular starter in Guardiola's back four anymore. With the World Cup coming up, playing time will be important for the Dutchman. He's only started one league game so far this season, so he'll probably look at other options in January. Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have both been linked to the 30-year-old.
A goalkeeper might also be on his way out next month. James Trafford arrived in the summer but quickly lost his spot when Gianluigi Donnarumma was signed. Despite that, Guardiola has told the incredible goalkeeper to stay here next month. Stefan Ortega might still leave, since he's fallen further down the list.
LEGEND STATUS: ERLING HAALAND EQUALS COLIN BELL’S GOAL RECORD IN FULHAM STROLL TODAY
Erling Haaland equals Colin Bell's scoring record as Man City beat Fulham 3-0. Read how Pep’s side closed the gap on Arsenal.
Erling Haaland climbed to joint-fourth on Manchester City’s all-time scoring chart, tying with Colin Bell, as Pep Guardiola’s team brushed aside Fulham 3-0 and closed the gap on Arsenal.
Haaland’s 153rd goal for City came in a match that felt easy for the home side. They barely broke a sweat at the Etihad on Wednesday, cutting Arsenal’s Premier League lead to just three points.
Antoine Semenyo struck first, keeping his hot streak alive, and Nico O’Reilly added another in a match that was basically one-way traffic, with rain pouring down all night.
City did all their damage before halftime. Job done, Haaland didn’t even bother coming out for the second half.
After struggling for a bit, Haaland seemed to snap back into form with a clutch penalty winner at Liverpool on Sunday. Maybe that’s the spark he needed.
Matching Bell’s tally is no small feat—especially considering Haaland’s done it in just 183 games, while Bell had 492.
Honestly, this game was a walk in the park for City. In the last meeting at Craven Cottage, City led 5-1 after 57 minutes but almost let Fulham back in, scraping by 5-4. This time, there wasn’t even a hint of drama.
Fulham made it easy, coughing up possession over and over and giving City every chance to attack.
You could tell a goal was coming. Phil Foden, starting after a spell on the bench, nearly scored twice early on. O’Reilly wasn’t far off either.
The breakthrough came 24 minutes in. Matheus Nunes whipped in a cross from the right, Haaland nodded it down, and Semenyo slid in to poke it past Bernd Leno.
That was Semenyo’s fifth goal in eight games for City, and his third against Fulham this season; he’d already scored twice against them for Bournemouth back in October.
Fulham did get a sniff at goal when Harry Wilson forced a save from Gianluigi Donnarumma, but City hit right back. Haaland got clipped by Joachim Andersen on a counter, but Semenyo kept going and slipped in O’Reilly, who coolly chipped Leno for 2-0.
City’s third came after Fulham gave the ball away yet again. Rayan Ait-Nouri found Foden, Foden passed to Haaland at the edge of the box, and Haaland buried it in the bottom corner for his first league goal from open play since December.
There was a quick VAR check for a possible penalty, with Semenyo claiming his hair got pulled, but nothing came of it.
City eased off after the break. Fulham tried to respond, and Wilson had a lively run, but it fizzled out.
Even with City playing in second gear, Fulham couldn’t get anything going.
Foden tried his luck from a distance but didn’t really trouble Leno, and Josh King forced a late save from Donnarumma, but that was about it.
ERLING HAALAND’S MENTALITY IS THE ONLY REASON MAN CITY CAN CATCH ARSENAL
Erling Haaland’s late penalty at Anfield has cut Arsenal’s lead to three points, reigniting Manchester City’s title charge.

Erling Haaland isn’t giving up on the title just yet. After slotting home a penalty deep into stoppage time at Anfield, he made it clear: “The title race isn’t over until it’s actually over.” That late goal kept Manchester City’s hopes alive.
Honestly, things looked grim with six minutes left. Szoboszlai had just smashed in a free kick, and even with Bernardo Silva’s equaliser, City were still staring at an eight-point gap behind Arsenal. But that penalty—Haaland’s first league goal at Anfield—changed the mood. Now, if City beat Fulham at home on Wednesday, the gap shrinks to three points before Arsenal even kick a ball at Brentford the next day.
Haaland tried to play it cool when people pressed him about the win. “It’s just three points, that’s it. Doesn’t matter if it’s Tottenham, whoever,” he said. But then he admitted, “Yeah, I get it. It was a big one.”
He’s not getting carried away, though. “We’ve seen it before—this race goes down to the wire. Right now, Fulham’s all I’m thinking about. There’s still a lot of football left.”
Haaland’s still the league’s top scorer with 21, but his penalty at Anfield was only his second league goal since Christmas. In his first 20 games this season, he couldn’t stop scoring—30 goals for club and country. Lately, though, the goals have dried up, and he knows it.
“Honestly, I haven’t scored enough since the start of the year. I have to be sharper and better at everything. That’s on me—I owe it to the team and to everyone watching.”
He didn’t want to make excuses or talk too much about what’s behind his dip in form. “I don’t think there’s an excuse. Fatigue? Most of it’s in your head. The schedule’s brutal, sure, but for me, it’s all about staying fit and being ready to help the team. That’s what matters most.”
