Swansea boss Monk confident keeping hold of star Bony

Swansea City boss Garry Monk is confident Wilfried Bony won't be sold from under him.

The 25-year-old committed to a new four-year deal a couple of weeks ago, thus denting Arsenal and Liverpool's hopes of signing him.

"It's not a concern for me," Monk said when quizzed about Bony's future.

"I'm not focused on that at all. I've mentioned it many times, and when he signed his new contract, that this [speculation] would still be the case.

"It's not my focus. He's our player, a Swansea City player, and I have said many times before in football money does dictate things, but it would take an astronomical, astronomical fee for him to ever go anywhere.

"We're not a selling club. We don't need to sell. We are very much committed with our players, they are committed to us and that's how we move on."
