Swansea City's powerful Ivorian striker who set a Premier League goals record for the club before becoming one of City's most expensive signings.

Wilfried Bony was one of the most powerful and technically skilled centre-forwards in the Premier League during his two seasons at Swansea. His 25 Premier League goals for Swansea attracted a £25 million bid from Manchester City. He won the AFCON with Ivory Coast in 2015.

His goal record at Swansea attracted the attention of Manchester City, who paid £25 million — then a record fee for a Welsh club.
