Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown says Wilfried Bony will prove his worth at Manchester City.

The Swansea City striker is in talks to sign for City.

Keown told the Daily Mail: "Bony is 26 but City are getting a player at the peak of his powers. It is a dream move so credit to him for working hard for years in the Czech Republic and Holland to progress.

That time has served him well but Swansea also deserve credit for giving him a chance to shine where others ignored him.

"The competition at City will be tough, but he has already seen what it's like not to play in every game - he was rotated by Garry Monk over Christmas almost as preparation to see how Swansea would cope without him."
