Down to the bare Bony: Vitesse hopeful of keeping West Ham target

Vitesse Arnhem interim director Erwin Kasagowski has told Voetbal International that the club are hopeful of retaining the services of top scorer Wilfried Bony- at least till the summer. The Russian transfer window closes later today and the Ivory Coast hitman has been linked with Russian sides Zenit St Petersburg, CSKA Moscow and Anzhi Mackhachkala, but Kasagowski says that the club have received no offer from any Russian club and he "does not think" the 23 year old will leave this transfer window. Bony himself has expressed an interest in a move to Russia, but his agent, Francis Kacou, has stated recently that the best thing the striker can do is "score lots more goals (in the Eredivise)," as then he will "have lots of offers to choose from in the summer." Bony, who has netted 22 goals so far this season has attracted interest from Inter Milan as well in recent weeks and West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is a known admirer of the pacy frontman and will be hoping Vitesse do manage to hold onto him- so he can launch a bid in the summer.
