Odds of Bony joining West Ham tumble

Bookies have slashed the odds of Wilfred Bony joining West Ham to 6/4 over night as news broke of a possible loan deal before he moves to China next January. Sky Bet reduced of Bony odds of joining the Hammers from 8/1 to become favourites to sign the striker.  Man City are now second favourites at 2/1 to retain his services while Arsenal are priced at 4/1 and Everton are listed as 5/1.

Bony is reported to earn wages of £100,000 per week at City together with a £20,000 per appearance bonus and the parent club will most likely be looking for any club looking to loan the 27 year old to cover 100% of his wages.

City purchased Bony from Swansea in 2015 for £25m, the full transfer agreement was leaked on footballleaks2015.wordpress.com which shows City paid £9m up front, plus the £5m in VAT due on the total transfer. They paid Swansea a further £8m in January 2016 and are due to pay the Welsh side a final £8m payment in January 2017.
