RUMOURS: Swansea want to re-sign Bony from Man City

The Swans are keen to end their former striker's Etihad nightmare by bringing him back to south Wales this summer, just 18 months after he joined the Citizens for £25m

Swansea City are preparing a bid to re-sign Wilfried Bony from Manchester City, according to the Daily Express.

Bony, 27, joined the Citizens in a £25 million deal 18 months ago but he has since struggled to settle at the Etihad Stadium and now reportedly sees his future away from the club.

And Swansea - who have few options up front having sold both Alberto Paloschi and Eder this summer, while Andre Ayew continues to be linked with a move away - are keen to lure Bony back to the Liberty Stadium.

The report, however, understands that Everton are the favourites to land Bony, with City willing to offer him as part of a player-plus-cash deal for John Stones.
