Wilfried Bony on his new club, looks to Yaya Toure for inspiration

By

New Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony says he is "excited" to be joining the Citizens and is looking forward to making his debut for his new team.

The 26-year-old joins the reigning Premier League champions for £28m and will wear the number 14 shirt.

"It's a great feeling for me, it's a big honour to be here and it's a great challenge," Bony told the club's official website.

"As a player it's always good to be part of one of the biggest clubs in the world and it's a good opportunity for me to be in that situation now – I'm really proud.

"I felt excited to wait for this moment and now it's come, it's fantastic.

"I think it's a great decision for me - Manchester City is in the Champions League.

"You remember at the end of last season I said that if I want to move it will be to a team in the competition because it's a great tournament that I really want to play in and one that I want to win.

"It's a motivation for me to give my maximum to be in that place. City is a big club with great players with a lot of experience; I believe we can do it."

The ex-Swansea striker also revealed that he will look at Ivory Coast colleague Yaya Toure as a source of inspiration.

"The Premier League is a tough league," the 26-year-old added.

"My power is to always be in the box and in the right position. I'm always working hard to be there to score the goals and to improve.

"I speak with Yaya [Toure] every day on international duty and I think he will help me to become a better player and a more clinical striker.

"I'll be playing with great players here at City and this is an opportunity for me to work hard and to take my chance."
