Antoine Semenyo has made an immediate impression since completing his big-money move to Manchester City, and it hasn’t taken long for supporters to begin creating songs in honour of the verstile Ghanaian forward.
The winger arrived at the Etihad Stadium for a reported £62.5m during the January transfer window and has quickly become a fan favourite thanks to his direct running, physicality and ability to make things happen in the final third.
His energetic performances have helped him slot seamlessly into Pep Guardiola’s attacking setup.
A new Semenyo song has been circulating online among City fans and is gradually gaining traction thanks to its catchy melody and simple lyrics, so read on as FootballGroundGuide covers everything you need to know.
Antoine Semenyo chant, lyrics and tune
The Semenyo chant is sung to the tune of “Just The Way You Are” by Milky, with the following 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.”
Antoine Semenyo chant background
Like with many modern football chants, the Semenyo song first gained attention on social media rather than inside the stadium.
The chant borrows its melody from Milky’s dance track “Just The Way You Are”, a song that already lends itself well to terrace culture thanks to its simple rhythm and repetitive chorus.
The lyrics also reference Semenyo’s role on the wing alongside fellow attacker, Rayan Cherki, highlighting what many fans hope will become an exciting attacking partnership at the Etihad this season and beyond.
The general consensus is that this is one of the best football chants to have been created in recent years, which often means other fanbases will soon have their own version.
FGG says: Antoine Semenyo form worthy of a dedicated Man City fan chant
Given the immediate impact Semenyo has made since arriving at Man City, it was only a matter of time before supporters started coming up with a chant for him.
The Ghanaian’s explosive style of play has quickly endeared him to the Etihad crowd, and players who excite fans in that way often end up with their own terrace song sooner rather than later.
However, the song has already reached the point where it is going to be sung regardless of Semenyo's performances, such is its popularity.
