# Celtic: Hoops continue to monitor Antoine Semenyo

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) could make a move for exciting Bristol City attacker Antoine Semenyo in the summer transfer window, journalist Pete O’Rourke has claimed.**

### The Lowdown: Semenyo’s excellent season

The Robins may have had a fairly unspectacular season, finishing 17th in the [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/), but the Ghanaian stood out as one of his team’s star players.

The 22-year-old registered [eight goals and 12 assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/357073/Show/Antoine-Semenyo) in the division, also averaging 1.1 key passes and 1.2 dribbles per match throughout the campaign.

It could be that Semenyo leaves this summer and looks for a new challenge, with Celtic potentially emerging as candidates to sign him. Indeed, the Hoops’ interest dates back to the winter, when senior scout Craig Strachan was [sent to watch](https://www.bristolworld.com/sport/football/bristol-city/celtic-send-scout-to-bristol-city-as-the-glasgow-club-join-list-of-antoine-semenyo-suitors-3565245) the player in action against Reading.

A move to Glasgow certainly doesn’t seem to be out of the question, according to one journalist.

### The Latest: Celtic backed to make move for Semenyo

Speaking to [*GiveMeSport*](https://www.givemesport.com/88013512-celtic-have-been-watching-20m-target-for-a-long-time-at-parkhead), O’Rourke claimed that he could see the Ghanaian at Parkhead next season. He stated of Semenyo:

> “I think he’s someone that Celtic have been watching for quite a long time. There was talk of a possible move last summer, and also during the January transfer window, and I’m sure Celtic have continued to monitor his situation. He’s got potential, Semenyo.”

### The Verdict: Could be a great signing

Signing top young talent is vital for Celtic in order to aid their long-term planning, and Semenyo is a player who could be both one for the present and the future.

He has already stood out in a [notoriously tough league](https://backpagefootball.com/the-championship-why-it-is-the-toughest-league-in-world-football/130685/#:~:text=The%20Championship%20%E2%80%93%20Why%20it%20is%20the%20toughest%20league%20in%20world%20football,-February%2027%2C%202022&text=The%20English%20second%20tier%20has,a%20club%20experiences%20are%20unrivalled.), being hailed as a “[real threat](https://footballghana.com/antoine-semenyo-has-made-great-progress-bristol-city-boss-nigel-pearson-lauds-ghanaian-forward)” by his manager Nigel Pearson, and he could bring some added firepower to Ange Postecoglou’s squad ahead of a relentless 2022/23 campaign.

The fact that Semenyo only has [one year remaining](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antoine-semenyo/profil/spieler/583255) on his current deal means that Bristol City could be willing to sell too, in order to avoid losing him for free next summer.
