Reports in Dutch and German media were indicating that Bayern Munich are taking keen interest in signing star Vitesse Arnhem striker, Wilfried Bony, in the January transfer window.
However, Vitesse technical director, Ted van Leeuwen, has asserted that his side does not intend to let go of their starlet in the winter transfer market.
The young Ivorian ace arrived at GelreDome Stadion in January earlier this year, and has exceeded expectations thus far. He has scored 11 goals in 17 matches while providing valuable assists, too, since joining the Eredivisie outfit.
His phenomenal show at the front-line has helped the outfit from Arnhem to occupy fourth spot in the league table. The 22-year-old’s exploits have already attracted interest from a host of elite European clubs, who have expressed keen interest in taking
his signature in the upcoming winter transfer market.
However, Van Leeuwen has openly claimed that his side rejected various offers in the summer transfer window. He also asserted that the club would be doing the same in January transfer window.
“Last summer a number of clubs reportedly wanted him. We're really not going to sell Bony in the winter”, the Vitesse technical director aid while talking to the journalists.
When asked about the interest shown by the Bundesliga giants, he added: “I know nothing of Bayern”.
The 22-year-old striker has performed brilliantly in every fixture thus far this season. His performances against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 were certainly praiseworthy.
Bony scored the winner in the closing stages of the match in the 2-1 win over the Utreg at home, while his equaliser in the injury time against Heerenveen at home had class written all over it.
The young Ivorian ace has an ongoing contract with the outfit from Arnhem that will keep him at GelreDome Stadion until the summer of 2014. However, growing interest from elite European clubs makes his stay unlikely at Arnhem.
