There has been an angry response from Swansea over the announcement from the Ivory Coast Football Federation that Wilfried Bony's move to Manchester City has been completed.

"The club has not confirmed anything and say Ivory Coast have no right to comment on anything to do with the club," BBC Wales Sport, external report.

Ian Bell has posted England's highest ever one-day score today, hitting 187 in a majestic knock against an Australian Prime Minister's XI.

But amazingly he might have a bit of competition when it comes to best batsman of the day.

In reply to England's mammoth 391 for 6 off 50 overs, Australian Glenn Maxwell belted a century off just 66 balls.

Maxwell eventually fell for 137 but it means it's game on - Prime Minister's XI are 222 for 4 after 31 overs of their innings and have a real chance of pulling off what would be an incredible victory.

England's bowlers needless to say - including Stuart Broad and Chris Jordan - are getting thumped all over the place.

Italy's Corriere dello Sport says Juventus could make a move for PSG's Edinson Cavani should they receive a "super offer" for midfielder Paul Pogba.

Italy's TuttoSport leads with Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba. "As in the summer of 2001 with Zidane will Real Madrid president Florentino Perez make a mega offer for the Frenchman?" asked the paper.

Interesting line in today's Independent about the FA's intentions to close a work permit loophole to protect English talent.

"The FA is determined that this month will be the last transfer window in which clubs will be able to use a discredited appeals process to sign the non-European Union players who, the governing body fears, block the progress of young English footballers into Premier League squads," the paper reports.

A lot of speculation today about the future of Everton frontman Samuel Eto'o.

Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has hinted that the 33-year-old could be on his way out of Goodison Park and left him out of last night's FA Cup third-round replay at West Ham.

"A couple of clubs contacted us in the last 12 hours so I decided to leave him out," said manager Roberto Martinez.

One of those clubs is understood to be Sampdoria, though no deal has yet been done.

Leicester City have agreed a fee with Wigan, believed to be in the region of £1m, for Scotland midfielder Shaun Maloney, reports BBC Radio Manchester, external.

It is a sad time for all connected with Wolves at the moment.

Sir Jack Hayward, who rebuilt Molineux and got the club back on its feet, has died at the age of 91.

A big loss to the game. But that got us thinking about football owners and chairman and it's the subject of our debate today.

We want to know who is the best owner you have ever had and how did they have a positive impact on the club you support? It might be that they took the club through the divisions, rebuilt a decrepit old stand, or introduced your favourite pie at the refreshments kiosk.

Whatever, let us know right now at #bbcsportsday or at the BBC Facebook page.

We've already mentioned West Ham's thrilling penalty shoot-out win over Everton in the FA Cup third round replay last night.

Well, now you can watch all 20 penalties in this nice little video.

Watch out for Hammers goalkeeper Adrian throwing off his goalkeeping gloves before calmly converting the decisive spot-kick, as if he knew he wouldn't be needing them again. That's confidence for you.

The Mirror is gloomy reading for Harry Redknapp, the paper claiming defeat to Manchester United and the QPR manager faces the sacked.

You may recall that about a month ago, Roy Hodgson announced his England players would get together at the end of January for a team-bonding session.

Not any more. The England boss has been forced to cancel the meeting because the players are too busy.

The FA said clubs were in favour of the meeting, but due to a busy schedule no suitable date could be agreed by all parties involved.

Ah well, the best laid plans and all that.

Full story here.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is speaking to the media at 09:30 GMT.

It's mainly to discuss new signing Carles Gil, an attacking midfielder bought in from Valencia for £3.2m on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

But Lambert can expect plenty of other questions too, from being charged by the FA over the conduct of his players during Saturday's defeat at Leicester, to the unhappiness of some supporters over his team's form.

We'll bring you the best of what's said.

Let's begin a round-up of what the morning papers are talking about with The Sun. They focus on what they say is a big-money offer from Sunderland to bring Jermain Defoe back to the Premier League from Toronto.

This is what we don't see enough of in football, snow-covered pitches and a garishly coloured ball.

It looks freezing, so exactly the kind of night where you do not want the match to drag on and go to extra time and penalties. Guess what happened? Hope those in the stands had thermal bobble hats.

Here's a decent quiz question? Can you name Jermain Defoe's last appearance in English football?

We'll tell you the answer in a moment, but the point is that it might not be much longer before we see the former Tottenham striker back in the Premier league.

According to The Sun, external, the 32-year-old has agreed a £14m deal with Sunderland.

The Black Cats are set to give Defoe a three-and-a-half-year contract worth £80,000 a week.

And the answer to the teaser? Sunday 9 February last year, in Spurs' 1-0 home win over Everton.

Britons Kyle Edmund and Liam Broady are within two matches of the Australian Open main draw after winning on their debuts in the qualifying event.

Edmund, 20, beat France's Tristan Lamasine 6-4 6-2 and faces American Austin Krajicek - a distant relative of ex-Wimbledon champion Richard - next.

Broady, the 21-year-old world 193, made light of 73 ranking places to beat Uzbek Farrukh Dustov 6-4 6-3.

It wasn't so good for a third Briton, Brydan Klein, who lost to Australia's Dane Propoggia.

Now, it may seem like Radamel Falcao has only just arrived at Manchester United. - but the striker may not be at Old Trafford next season.

"He will play in one of the very best clubs in the world next season, whether that is Manchester United or not," said his agent Jorge Mendes.

The Colombian earns £265,000 a week - that's Falcao, not Mendes - and has scored three goals in 13 appearances since signing from Monaco in a £6m season-long loan in September.
