During a lighthearted social media challenge at Manchester City’s training ground today, Thursday, May 14, 2026, Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo stunned fans by revealing the most famous person in his contacts list.
While teammates were expected to name world-class footballers or music icons, Semenyo pulled out his phone and named His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the President of the Republic of Ghana.

The "Cityzen" Surprise
The revelation took place during a "Quickfire Questions" segment for Cityzens, Manchester City’s official fan platform. Semenyo, who joined the Premier League champions in a record-breaking £65 million move from Bournemouth in January 2026, has quickly become a fan favorite both for his goals and his down-to-earth personality.
The Connection: Semenyo explained that he has a personal relationship with the President, whom he occasionally engages with for advice and support.
Building a Legacy: The striker indicated that the two have shared conversations about building a "sports legacy" in Ghana, particularly through the President’s ongoing "Accra Reset" initiative which prioritizes sports infrastructure.
On-Pitch Dominance
The news of his high-profile contact list comes as Semenyo enjoys the form of his life:
Golden Boot Contender: Following his goal against Crystal Palace yesterday, May 13, Semenyo has brought his season tally to 11 Premier League goals, making him one of the most productive forwards in the league this season.
World Cup Bound: With the 2026 FIFA World Cup just weeks away, Semenyo is expected to be the spearhead of the Black Stars' attack in Group L against England, Croatia, and Panama.
The "Guardiola" Seal: City Director Hugo Viana recently praised Semenyo as the club’s "top priority" signing, noting that his versatility on both wings has been key to City’s 2026 title charge.
