Stoke City are close to finalising the loan of Wilfried Bony.
The Manchester City striker is poised to join for a £2million loan fee with Stoke paying his £120,000-a-week wages.
Bony, whose move to City never really sparked into life, seemingly spoke about the move earlier this morning on Twitter.
Stoke will pay City a £2m loan fee and will cover all of Bony's £120,000-per-week wages
'It’s a new day and I look forward to a new exciting challenge,' Bony posted on social media.
Bony joined City from Swansea for £28m in January 2015 but never truly established himself at the Etihad Stadium.
The
27-year-old had to make do with playing second fiddle to Sergio Aguero,
but when he did get on the pitch he was largely ineffective.
Bony never really established himself at the Etihad and has not featured for them this season
Stoke's move for Bony may signal the end of their interest in signing West Brom forward Saido Berahino this summer.
Berahino
- who jetted off on holiday on Monday - has been desperate to leave The
Hawthorns for a substantial period of time, but is now prepared to see
out the last year of his contract.
Stoke
and Crystal Palace were both interested in signing the 23-year-old, who
is already exploring potential free transfers overseas.
