Stoke City sign Wilfried Bony on loan from Manchester City
Stoke City have announced the signing of Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony on a season-long loan deal.
Potters boss Mark Hughes told the official Stoke City website: “Bringing Wilfried in was a no-brainer for us to be perfectly honest, because he knows the Premier League and has scored plenty of goals at this level.
“He has power, speed and very good physical attributes which will undoubtedly help us, and his technical and finishing skills are outstanding too.”
