Agent: 'Wilfried Bony staying at Manchester City'

Wilfried Bony will not leave Manchester City during the ongoing transfer window, according to his agent.

The Ivorian striker joined the Citizens from Swansea City in a deal worth £28m 12 months ago, but he has struggled to hold down a regular place in the starting lineup at the Etihad Stadium.

However, despite speculation that he could be on the move, Francis Kacou has stressed that the 27-year-old will stay put.

"Wilfried will stay at Manchester City. They are all just rumours. A departure this winter was never on the agenda, and City simply wouldn't sell him," Sky Sports News quotes Kacou as saying.

Bony has scored 10 goals from his 33 outings in a City shirt.
