Manchester City seal Wilfried Bony deal for GBP28m

Manchester City has concluded the deal for the Swansea City forward as the defending champions look to bolster their attack. The deal will be around £28m including add-ons for the Ivorian.

The sale of Bony breaks the record for the sale by the Welsh club. Earlier the record was held by Joe Allen, who was sold for £15m to Liverpool.

According to BBC, the deal has been agreed between the clubs and the personal terms with the player are yet to be agreed. But this is a mere formality as it is a done deal.

City faced some stiff competition from fellow premier League rivals like Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham but they eventually prevailed and prized away him from their rivals.
