Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has admitted that it was important for striker Wilfried Bony to make an instant impact at the club.
Bony scored twice during Swansea's 4-0 victory over Malmo on Thursday night, and Laudrup has insisted that the pressure has been lifted off the Ivory Coast international.
The 49-year-old told the South Wales Evening Post: "For every forward, it's important to score — they all want goals even if they don't say it.
"You know when he has a price tag like that — every time you mention his name' you say the cost — so it's important to score goals."
The 24-year-old was signed for £12m from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem.
