Swansea City

Wilfried Bony - Vitesse - £12m

Without a doubt, Swansea’s biggest acquisition this season is Wilfried Bony, the beastly striker signed from Vitesse Arnhem for the relatively cheap sum of £12m and can be a big presence for the Swans up front. Swansea will be looking to build on last season which saw them secure 9^th place last season and a victory in the Capital One Cup which earned them a spot in this season’s Europa League. Michael Laudrup is an outstanding manager and his signings will add depth to a Swansea squad which is very talented and will excite many Swans fans. His acquisition of Jonjo Shelvey for a miniscule fee of 5 million pounds from Liverpool could prove a shrewd piece of business, under the right tutelage the England midfielder could turn into an absolute world beater. Watch this space.

Grade: B-

Wilfried Bony is an excellent signing, one which will add goals to an already impressive Swansea outfit, the Swans have a very good side, not to be under estimated.
