Wilfried Bony, signed by Swansea City in July until 2017, has garnered the confidence of his coach, Michael Laudrup. Despite not finding the net in a friendly match against Den Haag, Laudrup praised Bony’s qualities as a classy scorer. Bony, an Ivorian international with an impressive record of 31 goals in 30 matches for Vitesse Arnhem last season, is expected to be a valuable asset for Swansea in the upcoming Premier League season.
Laudrup expressed his satisfaction with Bony’s signing, stating, “I’m happy that Bony has signed. He’s a scorer, he’s powerful and he has good heading. He will definitely bring something extra to the team. He must sharpen his automatism with his new teammates. I hope he will be an important asset for Swansea in the coming season.” Swansea’s first Premier League match of the season is against the reigning champions, Manchester United.
