LONDON ¨C He cost Swansea City just ?12 million from Vitesse Arnhem in 2013. That is more like an agent¡¯s cut than a transfer fee these days. Yet no player has scored more Premier League goals in 2014 than Wilfried Bony ¡ª 18.
That is the same total as Manchester City¡¯s Sergio Aguero, four more than Edin Dzeko and Yaya Toure and five more than Wayne Rooney.
Aguero cost City ?38 million from Atletico Madrid and has scored 94 goals in 142 matches for the Blues. That is a better percentage record than Bony¡¯s 31 in 63, but the Argentina striker has a glittering array of helpers as teammates, while Swansea does not have such a supporting cast to provide the bullets for Bony.
