The Swans smash their transfer record by verbally agreeing a deal which could reportedly rise by another million or two including add-ons
After what seems to have been an age it looks like we've finally got our man. We're still awaiting an announcement from either club regarding the move, however a picture of Bony with Huw has surfarced on Twitter:

I'm sure that Huw, Laudrup and Bony himself will be keen to get on with things now, and with the Swans on tour in Holland it's worked out rather swimmingly. Hopefully he can join up with his new team-mates in the next 24 hours or so, but with the next friendly coming against NAC Breda tomorrow it's unlikely all the work permit gubbins will be tied up in time (although I have a feeling that wouldn't matter in a friendly?) for him to feature. A distinct possibility, however, is that he'll be available to line up against ADO Den Haag this coming Saturday, so we may not have to wait too long to see him in a Swansea shirt, as opposed to holding one...
Welcome to the club Wilfried! May your time here be goal-laden.
