Stoke City could lose Wilfried Bony to the Chinese Super League in January, according to reports from the Daily Telegraph.

Bony joined Stoke from Manchester City on a season-long loan deal this summer but despite the agreement, there is a possibility that the Ivory Coast international could leave the Potters midway through the deal.

The Telegraph have claimed that City have placed a clause on the loan agreement that Bony will be allowed to leave Stoke if a Chinese Super League club wants to buy him outright during the January transfer window and now Mark Hughes is sweating over the prospect of losing the striker this winter.
