Wilfried Bony warns Premier League: Me and Sergio Aguero up front can be "scary"

Wilfried Bony has warned the Premier League that he and Manchester City teammate Sergio Aguero can forge a "scary" strike partnership next season.

The Ivory Coast international has struggled to scale the heights expected of him following a £30m January move from Swansea City, scoring once in nine outings.

An ankle injury has stunted his progress for much of the year, but the 26-year-old is adamant that he can excel next term and form a frightening understanding with the Argentine up front.

"He's one of the best. Hopefully now he will be the top scorer. You can see when we play together there's ­something there," he told reporters.

"I couldn't say I'm quicker than him but he's not stronger than me. We can work together and ­complement each other.

"Together we can be quite scary. That is why I want to prepare myself for the next season and make sure I am ready for that."

Bony could earn just his third start for the Sky Blues when he travels to former club Swansea on Sunday afternoon.
