"Since Wilfried has been playing in England, he should be able to take the pressure of competing in the Premier League. So he will be a very good signing. We're very thankful for this."

Bony was the Premier League's 20-goal top scorer in 2014 and struck 34 times in 70 games in all competitions for Swansea.
