Jamie Redknapp Says Father Was Source of Wrong Semenyo-to-Liverpool Tip as City Signing Impresses

The £60m January signing has scored in each of his first two Manchester City games.

Overview

  • Jamie Redknapp told Sky Sports he "got it completely wrong" after airing a late claim that Antoine Semenyo could join Liverpool.
  • He said the claim came from his father, Harry Redknapp, whose longstanding Bournemouth ties informed the tip that proved unfounded.
  • Semenyo completed a long-term move from Bournemouth to Manchester City the next day for about £60m.
  • The forward scored and assisted on his FA Cup debut in a 10-1 win over Exeter City, then netted the opener in a 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle.
  • Pep Guardiola praised Semenyo’s early impact, crediting Bournemouth’s work with him and highlighting his consistent threat in the final third.
