Liverpool and Tottenham fans may be feeling a bit delicate after this news

Goal-machine Wilfried Bony is on the verge of a move to Manchester City for approximately £30 million according to reports this evening.

The Swansea striker has hit the net nine times in the league already this term and was the top goalscorer for the 2014 calendar year with 20.

Bony was top of the Christmas wishlist of many clubs but City seem to have won the race to capture the Ivorian:

The news will represent a major blow to Brendan Rodgers and Mauricio Pochettino who had long been linked with the striker to bolster their attacking threat.

If the deal does go through he won’t be available to City until February due to his involvement with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations.
