Swansea chairman cannot guarantee Bony won't be sold

Chairman Huw Jenkins has insisted that Swansea City have received no contact from any clubs in relation to signing Wilfried Bony. Bony has been linked with moves to Manchester City and Chelsea.

Bony will soon leave for the African Cup of Nations and Jenkins told the Guardian that Swansea are not aware of any interest in signing the player ahead of his departure to Equatorial Guinea.

"We have not had any contact from anyone with respect to Wilfried," the Swansea chairman said. "It's just speculation linked to a player who is the top scorer in 2014 in the Premier League - which is perfectly natural."

Asked whether Swansea would countenance selling Bony in January if an offer was made, Jenkins said: "First and foremost I will consider everything that arises at the time. But as of yet we haven't got anything to consider. Players move around - that's a fact of life. The one thing I've learned over time is never say never in football. But officially at the moment we haven't had any contact from Manchester City or anyone else about Wilfried."
