Manchester City have agreed to sign Wilfried Bony from Swansea City for £28million.

The striker will complete the deal within the next 48 hours, but won’t meet up with his new team-mates until he returns from international duty next month. Bony is currently preparing for the African Cup of Nations tournament with the Ivory Coast.

Bony cost Swansea £12million when he signed from Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem in July 2013 and was the top goalscorer in the Premier League in the calendar year of 2014, scoring 20 goals.

Here’s how Bony compares to his new striker teammates:
