Andy King isn’t one for hyperbole, with his opinions often as steady as his performances, but the Bristol City midfielder believes Antoine Semenyo is “the best player in the Championship” and that Alex Scott is at a more developed stage than two proven Premier League performers were at his age.
City resume their Championship campaign on Saturday against Rotherham United after a 28-day break since their 0-0 with Watford at Ashton Gate and will have a World Cup performer in their squad following Semenyo’s turn for Ghana in Qatar.
The 22-year-old made two substitute appearances, against Portugal and Uruguay, and came close to scoring in both games but unfortunately the Black Stars were unable to qualify from their group and Semenyo rejoined his teammates at the High Performance Centre this week.
