Swansea City are eager to buy back Wilfried Bony from Manchester City.

The Sunday Mirror says Swansea are ready to write off the outstanding £16million balance on Bony's £28million transfer to Manchester City to take the striker back this summer.

The 28-year-old has failed to establish himself in the north-west since his move to the Etihad in January 2015 and incoming City boss Pep Guardiola has made it clear the Ivorian does not feature in his plans.

He will be allowed to leave the club with Swansea keen to take him back and the player open to the idea of returning to the Liberty Stadium.
