Bony signs new Swansea deal

Swansea striker Wilfried Bony has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the Liberty Stadium until June 2018.

Bony joined the Swans from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem in June 2013 for a club-record £12 million (€15m) and the Ivory Coast forward scored 25 goals in his first season.

The 25-year-old’s impressive debut campaign in the Premier League sparked interest from Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham last summer but Swansea were determined to hang onto their star striker.
