Swans close in on Bony deal

Swansea have edged ever closer to sealing a £13m move for Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony, according to Dutch sports newspaper Voetbal International.

The Welsh side are thought to have a verbal agreement with the Eredivisie outfit to sign Ivory Coast international Bony and an announcement is expected in the next couple of days.

West Ham co-chairman David Gold last week stated the club's intention to try and sign the 24 year old, but with a fee having been agreed between the Swans and Vitesse and final details just needing to be sorted, the Hammers are believed to be looking at other transfer targets- such as Celtic's Gary Hooper and Estudiantes' Duvan Zapata, who the East London side have agreed a £6.7m fee for.
