Pellegrini: Wilfried Bony can become ‘player we need’

Manuel Pellegrini is convinced Wilfried Bony will become “the player we need” despite the striker’s struggles following his move to Manchester City.

Bony has started only twice for City since leaving Swansea in January.

But the Ivory Coast international showed the scoring instincts which brought him 34 goals in 70 games for Swansea against his old club on Sunday, netting late on as a substitute in City’s 4-2 Premier League victory at the Liberty Stadium.
