West Ham and Swansea are planning a summer move for out of favour Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony, according to\u00a0?the Daily Mail.?<\/p>\n

The Ivorian forward has spent this season on loan at Stoke, but has struggled to establish himself in the first team after a difficult start.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has scored just twice in the Premier League this campaign, although he is believed to be determined to prove himself in the division.<\/p>\n

Despite interest from China, and the potential financial rewards of such a move, Bony is reportedly likely to remain in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

City are expected to demand \u00a315m for the player, which has alerted the interest of former club Swansea, and West Ham.<\/p>\n

Swansea look set to avoid relegation in the Premier League this season, and are now looking to turn their attention towards improving their squad.<\/p>\n

Bony is reportedly seen as the perfect player to replace\u00a0Gylfi Sigurdsson, who could be set for a move away after an impressive campaign for the lowly Swans.<\/inline><\/p>\n

West Ham, meanwhile, are in the market for two strikers having been without a regular goal scorer this season.\u00a0<\/inline>Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi and Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge are reportedly targets for the Hammers, although Bony could prove a more realistic proposition.<\/inline><\/p>\n
