Key Highlights

  • But perhaps what is most striking about the deal is the fee – or, more precisely, how little attention it has drawn. English football has become inured to big transfers.
  • The fee feels about right.
  • Semenyo is 25.
  • He has four and a half years left on his contract.
  • He is quick, skilful, intelligent and works hard.
