Semenyo wants to match goal exploits of hotshot Haaland

- BY ALEX JAMES

ANTOINE SEMENYO believes he can match Erling Haaland's scoring impact with the Manchester City new boy confident his game will improve at the Etihad.

Semenyo, 26, has four goals for the Blues already, taking him to 14 for the campaign in all competitions.

Haaland and Brentford's Igor Thiago are the only two players to have netted more in the Premier League this term. And Semenyo is relishing being judged alongside his new teammate. The Norwegian powerhouse has plundered more than 150 goals for City since arriving in the summer of 2022, setting a hatful of records along the way.

But he has just one goal in his last eight appearances and has not netted from open play in the league since December 20.
