Garry Monk: 'Wilfried Bony committed to Swansea City'

Swansea City manager Garry Monk reiterates his desire to keep hold of star striker Wilfried Bony and insists that the Ivorian is "committed" to the Welsh club.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has reiterated his desire to keep hold of striker Wilfried Bony, claiming that the Ivorian is "committed" to the Welsh club.

The 25-year-old's form last season, during which he scored 25 goals in all competitions, has reportedly attracted the attention of the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Monk has revealed that the Premier League club is in "control of everything" and will only let players leave on their terms.

When asked about Bony's future, the 35-year-old told talkSPORT: "It's exactly the same as it was at the start of the summer. Speculation will always be speculation.

"The good thing for us is that we're in control of everything, no player will leave unless we decide it and we think it's good for the club.

"And from Wilfried's performances throughout our pre-season campaign I think you can see exactly how committed he is to Swansea City."

Bony joined Swansea from Vitesse Arnhem last summer.
