Wilfried Bony is setting off on a one-man mission to repay the club he believes gave him his career.
The burly Ivory Coast striker, whose big money move to Manchester City never worked out, says he can make the difference to the second half of Swansea’s season after finally finding some fitness.
His £10m transfer back to South Wales has been a flop so far – this was only the third time Paul Clement had picked him to start.
But the under-pressure Swans boss also handed Bony the captain’s armband and that bit of trust might just be about to stir a reaction.
