Arsenal in for Swansea striker Wilfried Bony

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a £25m bid for Swansea striker Wilfried Bony, according to the Daily Star.

The 25-year-old striker enjoyed an excellent debut season at the Swans since his move from Dutch side Vitesse in last summer. He has scored 17 goals and provided four assists for the club in their 2013/14 Premier League campaign.

His impressive displays have attracted attention from top Premier League clubs with the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton but the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is hopeful on bringing the Ivory Coast international at the Emirates stadium this summer.

Although, the Frenchman is willing to sanction a £25m offer on the African ace, as he looks to bolster his squad ahead of the next season.

It is understood that Swansea are likely to keep their man, but an offer of £25m would be quite convincing for them.
