Are Bony and Manchester City a match made in heaven?

Wilfried Bony's agent says he expects the Swansea striker to sign for Manchester City in the next few days.

Bony, 25, was the top scorer in the Premier League in the calendar year of 2014 and the Ivorian has attracted the interest of champions City, who need to bolster their strike force.

But with the deal reported to be stalling over Swansea's £30 million asking price, agent Francis Kacou told Sky Sports News: "We are in talks and we hope it will happen. There are rumours about other teams, but City are the only ones interested.

"There are a few minor hold-ups over money, but we are confident we can do a deal in the next few days."

Bony, interviewed at the airport as he heads to join his Ivory Coast team-mates at the African Nations Cup, was coy over the deal.

Asked if there was anything to report, he said: "Not yet but negotiations are ongoing. It is good to hear [of City's interest]. Football is like that. But for now I want to focus on the national team."

The striker also insisted that "every player wants to play in the Champions League" as he seeks to complete a move to the Etihad.
