    Gareth M-J:, external If Torres was £50m a few years ago when we wasn't prolific the Swans should hold out for nearer £50m for Bony.

    "I know Daniel very well and I feel a little disappointed for him," Yeovil-born Norris told BBC Sport. "Obviously I'm happy to get through. I didn't perform in the first set but I found the groove in the end."

  11. No Bony release clausepublished at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January 2015

    BBC Radio Wales reporter Dafydd Pritchard has the inside track on Manchester City's move for Swansea striker Wilfried Bony.

    He says: "Bony's future has been under scrutiny for months, with Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool among the clubs believed to be interested in the Ivorian.

    "He signed a one-year contract extension in November and, although that couldn't ward off interest from Manchester City, it did get rid of the £20m release clause in the striker's previous deal.

    "Swansea can now demand £30m or more for the 25-year-old, not that a fee of that size will put off a club of City's financial power.

    "As Bony is currently with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations, he may well have already played his final game for the Swans."
