Manchester City 'close to agreeing £30m Wilfried Bony deal'

Wilfried Bony will reportedly make a £30m move from Swansea City to Premier League champions Manchester City later this week.

Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony will join Manchester City later this week in a deal worth £30m, according to a report.

The 26-year-old, who is currently on Africa Cup of Nations duty with the Ivory Coast, is seen as the man to help shore up the Citizens' injury-plagued frontline.

With fitness concerns continuing to mount over Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Steven Jovetic, Bony has been widely tipped with a move to the Etihad having scored 20 goals in the previous calendar year - more than any other player.

It is claimed in The Mirror that the Premier League champions will meet Swansea's valuation of the star striker, while also doubling his wages to around £100,000 a week.

Bony will reportedly be offered a four-year deal at City, and will be eligible for the Champions League knockout phase once he returns from international duty next month.
