Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has welcomed the arrival of Wilfried Bony.
Bony scored nine goals for Swansea in the first half of the season after netting 25 times for the Welsh club during the previous campaign.
"I think that Bony will be an important player for us," the Chilean manager said. "He will be in the squad list we will see if he will be in the starting 11 or after that have some minutes but he works with our team the whole week without any problems.
"He plays a lot of years here in England, he is the player that scores most goals during the last year.
"I think he has all the conditions to be an important player because we try always to play with two strikers. He is the perfect player for our squad.
"He knows the Premier League, he knows our team so I think it will be easy for him to settle in in a good way."
