Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo believes his game has improved since joining Manchester City in the winter transfer window.
Semenyo has been named the English Premier League Player for the Month of February following his early exploits at the Etihad.
The 26-year-old netted three goals and delivered an assist in five games to beat Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, Dango Ouattara, Virgil van Dijk and team-mate Nico O’Reilly to the award.
Although he has been nominated several times for the award during his time at AFC Bournemouth, this is the first time Semenyo is winning the coveted award.
“This is a brilliant moment for me. To win the Premier League Player of the Month award so soon after joining City is something I’ll never forget,” he said.
“It’s been such an amazing start to life at this club. I am learning so much every day and I honestly feel I am already a better player.
“I have been made to feel welcome from day one, which means I have been able to stay focused on the pitch and do my best."
Despite scooping the individual accolade, Semenyo remains team-oriented and wants to help City finish the campaign strongly.
“My focus now is on continuing to improve and helping City to achieve the best possible results. We have so much to play for and I am really excited about this final period of the season," added the striker.
The former Bristol City forward is enjoying his best campaign in the topflight with 15 Premier League goals this season, and only behind Brentford's Igor Thiago (18) and Erling Haaland (22) in the golden boot race.
