This guy has been heavily linked with Newcastle ever since Ba left and he looks like the perfect replacement. He could play alongside Cisse or behind him and I’d really like to see him link up with Ben Afra, Cabaye and Sissoko.
With every club forecast to possibly get as much as £70m minimum per season, it isn’t only the elite who will be throwing money around looking for those elusive goalscorers.
Bony’s agent, ““I cannot say anything about which clubs are interested. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes and I would not want to embarrass Wlfried. Will he return to Arnhem after the African Cup of Nations? We will see in the coming days”.
As Van Leeuwen says, often it is the domino effect and if one team sells then they will want somebody in to replace them, whether Newcastle are in the mood to create a domino effect by pursuing Bony is anybody’s guess.
This morning there are now claims that Newcastle are in talks to sign Vitesse Arnhem’s Wilfried Bony, who is currently at the African Cup on Nations with Cheick Tiote and the rest of the Ivory Coast squad.
