The Ivorian ace could be on his way out of the Arnhem outfit with two English Premier League outfits taking keen interest in signing the striker this summer.
Reports from GelreDome Stadion confirm that Chelsea and Newcastle United are taking keen interest in signing Vitesse Arnhem striker, Wilfried Bony, before the ongoing summer transfer window slams shut.
The Ivorian ace, who joined the Arnhem outfit half-way through the 2010/11 season after representing Sparta Prague in over 50 league appearances, has been performing consistently at GelreDome Stadion since his arrival.
Netting an impressive 15 goals while setting up plenty more in 35 Eredivisie appearances, the 23-year-old is an integral part of the squad.
His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, as a couple of English Premier League sides have expressed their interest in luring the striker away from GelreDome Stadion before the start of the 2012/13 season.
However, the Vitesse management has made it clear that they do not want to part ways with the Ivorian international, and have insisted that any interested parties will need to table a bid in excess of 14 million Euros, if they
are to land his signature this summer.
The strong striker, who played an integral role in his side’s impressive seventh place finish on the Eredivisie table in the 2011/12 season, has long been a target for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
Reports suggest that the UEFA Champions League winners are the favourites to sign the talented attacker this summer, as they enjoy a good relationship with the Arnhem outfit.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are on the lookout to add a quality striker to their squad, and the club management has shortlisted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905’s Bony as the possible additions.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew, the Magpies boss, has set his sights on finishing in the top two English Premier League sides next term, and has expressed his wish to add more depth in his squad.
De Jong would not be available for anything less than 20 million Euros. However, the Magpies could very well lure Bony, who has a contract at Vitesse until 2015, in a deal believed to be in the region of 14 million Euros.
