Posted by admin | 9 years ago | 4,012 times
Manchester City have completed the signing of Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony for £28m.
Bony has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal at the Etihad Stadium, running to the end of the 2018/19 season.
"It's a great feeling for me, it's a big honour to be here and it's a great challenge," the 26-year-old said.
Bony joined Swansea for £12m from Vitesse Arnhem in 2013 and was the Premier League's top scorer in 2014 with 20 goals.
He is currently on international duty with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The two clubs agreed the terms of deal at the weekend, with £25m cash up front and a further £3m in performance-related add-ons.

Swansea earlier criticised the Ivory Coast Football Federation claiming the deal had gone through before either club had announced it.
The Ivory Coast Football Federation said:"Bony has signed with Manchester City this Wednesday, 14 January."
But a Swansea spokesman said "the Ivory Coast have no right to comment."
