Sergio Aguero has welcomed Wilfried Bony's arrival at Manchester City.

Bony's £28m arrival from Swansea will ease the burden on leading scorer Aguero.

Aguero told City's club website: "We were very unfortunate to have so many injured strikers simultaneously.

"The boys handled it very well, though. It's not easy to play in someone else's position, but that said, I thought they were quite effective and we initially continued our winning run.

"Now we are back to full strength and we have also added to our squad.

"I think Wilfried Bony is a valuable addition to bolster our ranks for the final months of the season.

"We have a lot of quality in our team which makes things very competitive and it will remain that way."
