Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony’s friend and agent Francis Kacou, this week announced that the striker is going to make his switch to Swansea City.
However, the Dutch club have denied the 24-year-old’s transfer to Swansea is a done deal citing problems in contract negotiations.
Bony explained that it is his dream to play for Swansea and hopes that his present club Vitesse allow him that scope.
"I want to play for Swansea City. I hope Vitesse will give me that opportunity. It would be a dream come true for me", Bony told De Telegraaf.

"We didn’t do it last season, but you could see the progression was slowly getting there – we were getting better all the time.
John van Zweden, one of the shareholders of the Welsh club has a different view on the matter. He feels that the problem lies with Bony and not Vitesse.
He was quoted as saying, "With Vitesse we have an agreement, but we must also reach an agreement with Bony and presently, there is still a big gap."
Swansea have an existing salary cap which they must increase if they wish to land the striker.
Bony was signed from Sparta Prague in 2010 by Vitesse and he has scored an impressive 52 goals in 71 outings with the Eredivisie club.
He has a contract with Vitesse which runs up to 30th June 2015.
