Wilfried Bony has completed his big-money move from Swansea to Premier League champions Manchester City.
Bony will earn £100,000 a week, which is close to double what the striker, who scored 34 goals in 70 games at Swansea, earned at the Liberty Stadium.
The Ivorian striker, who is currently on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, joins Manuel Pellegrini's side for an initial fee in the region of £25 million with another £3m in add ons over four years.
Bony, 26, will wear the No 14 shirt won previously by Javi Garcia.
'It’s a great feeling for me, it’s a big honour to be here and it’s a great challenge .“As a player
[I think] it’s always good to be part of one of the biggest clubs in the world ,and it’s a good opportunity for me to be in that situation now – I’m really proud”, said Bony.
Bony will link up with Ivoirian team-mate, Yaya Toure, and the striker believes he will make him a better player.
“I speak with Yaya every day on international duty, and I think he will “help me to become a better player and a more clinical striker.
“I’ll be playing with great players here at City, and this is an opportunity for me to work hard and to take my chance,” he said.
