Wilfried Bony's agent criticises 'unambitious' Newcastle United

Wilfried Bony's agent suggests that the Swansea City striker will not sign for Newcastle United because they lack ambition.

The agent of Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony has suggested that his client will not consider moving to Newcastle United this summer because they lack ambition.

The Ivory Coast international, who has been linked with a move away from the Swans, is said to have been rejected by the Magpies last summer because they did not believe that he was worth £10m.

Bony's agent Dalibor Lacina told the Shields Gazette: "They could have signed him for £10m, but they said they weren't sure if he was good enough, that he was only playing in Holland [with Vitesse]. Now he is worth £20m.

"The next step for Bony is a top-six team in England or a top team in Germany, Spain or France, or he will stay with Swansea.

"We have a certain strategy. Bony is in a totally different place to Newcastle and wants to move to a club with ambition. We have had no contact with Newcastle."

Bony netted 26 goals in 48 games for the Swans last season.
