Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in pole position to sign Swansea City’s Wilfried Bony after Liverpool cooled their interest following their £8.5m deal for striker Loic Remy.

The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Bony in recent weeks and were believed to have had a £12.5m bid for the Ivory Coast international rejected by Swansea – with the club wanting about £19m for the player.

But after Liverpool agreed the transfer of QPR striker Remy on Saturday, The Sunday Express claims that the Reds’ interest in Bony has waned, which leaves Spurs favourites to sign the 25-year-old.

The newspaper says that the White Hart Lane outfit want Bony to boost their attacking options next season, and will now need to come to an agreement with The Swans over a potential deal for the striker.




Bony scored 25 goals in 48 appearances for Swansea last season and netted two goals for his nation at the World Cup in Brazil this summer.
