Manchester City 'complete Wilfried Bony capture'

Striker Wilfried Bony has completed his reported £30m move to Premier League champions Manchester City from Swansea, according to the Ivory Coast Football Federation.

The Ivory Coast Football Federation has claimed that striker Wilfried Bony has completed his move to Manchester City from Swansea City.

The two Premier League clubs have been in negotiations over a £30m transfer for the 26-year-old since the start of this month's window.

Bony is currently on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast and they have announced that the deal has now been finalised.

There is yet to be official confirmation from either Man City or Swansea, with that expected later today.

Bony scored 20 Premier League goals throughout 2014 - more than any other player - and 34 in 70 in total for the Swans after joining from Dutch outfit Vitesse in 2013.

City were without a recognised striker over much of the Christmas period due to injuries to Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic, but now have that trio and Bony available to spearhead their Premier League title and Champions League ambitions.
