Ex-Manchester City striker Bony opens door to Ivory Coast return as he looks for a new club

Former Manchester City and Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony said he is ready to return to the Ivory Coast national team as he continues the search for a new club.

Bony is yet to play competitive football since November 2020 after he left Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad by mutual consent.

Prior to his exit, the 32-year-old forward scored five goals in 10 league outings but he is now training with League Two club Newport County to maintain his fitness levels.
