Swansea to slap in bid for Man City striker Bony with Sigurdsson cash

Swansea City are set to bid for Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony.

Swans are ready to splash out on a raft of new additions after completing the sale of Gylfi Sigurdsson to Everton yesterday.

The Guardian says Swansea will now press ahead with reinvesting the Sigurdsson money by making a couple of signings of their own, starting with Bony, who is expected to rejoin from Manchester City.

The Ivorian had a hugely successful spell at Swansea prior to moving to the Etihad Stadium and a deal in principle is believed to be in place to bring him back to the Liberty Stadium.

Nacer Chadli has been targeted as a more direct replacement for Sigurdsson, with the Belgium international keen to leave West Bromwich Albion after less than a year at the club.
