Report: Arsenal poised for Bony swoop

Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing Swansea City hitman Wilfried Bony this summer.

The newly-crowned FA Cup winners are thought to be determined to provide stern competition for 22-goal Olivier Giroud next season.

The Cote D'Ivorie international enjoyed a fruitful first season in English football by hitting 25 goals in total and, according to The Mirror, manager Arsene Wenger is a keen admirer of the 25-year-old.

Wenger could face competition, however, as both Everton and Borussia Dortmund have been alerted by Bony's form as they prepare for life after Romelu Lukaku and Robert Lewandowski repsectively.

Bony, a club record £12m signing last summer, has another three years to run on his existing deal at the Liberty Stadium.
