City bolsters attack by signing Bony from Swansea
Print Edition
ENGLISH champion Manchester City has bolstered its attacking arsenal with the signing of Ivorian forward Wilfried Bony from Swansea City for a sum believed to be in the region of 30 million pounds (US$45.48 million), the club confirmed yesterday.
The 26-year-old, who scored 20 goals in the 2014 calendar year, more than any other Premier League player, joined Swansea from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem for 12 million pounds in 2013.
“As a player it’s always good to be part of one of the biggest clubs in the world and it’s a good opportunity for me to be in that situation now — I’m really proud,” Bony, who is preparing for the African Cup, told City’s website. “I felt excited to wait for this moment and now it’s come, it’s fantastic.”
Bony signed a one-year extension to his Swansea contract in November and the Welsh club’s manager Gary Monk said it would take an “astronomical fee” for the club to sell him.
