Wilfried Guemiand Bony (born 10 December 1988) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester City and the Ivory Coast national team as a striker.

Having begun his career at Issia Wazi, he moved to Sparta Prague in 2007, helping them to the Czech First League title in 2010. In January 2011 he was signed by Vitesse, where he was the top scorer in the Eredivisie in 2012–13, leading to a £12 million transfer to Swansea City. He joined Manchester City for £28 million in January 2015.

A full international since 2010, Bony was selected in the Ivorian squads for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, helping them to victory in the 2015 edition.

Early life

Bony was born in Bingerville and was raised first in the city of Tebrau Plateau, and then in Abobo PK18. He played street football from a young age, in the Brazilian style of "Maracanã". He also participated in many interschool and city cups, before spending three years at the Cyrille Domoraud Academy in Bingerville.
