Wilfried Bony is training with League Two Newport.

Here's a weird one

He's a 30-year-old international striker who just five years ago signed for champions Manchester City for £28m.

But now, without a club after being released by Swansea City, Wilfried Bony is training with League Two Newport.

He played four times as Ivory Coast reached the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations this summer - a tournament he won in 2015.

In a social media post Newport boss Mike Flynn said it was "great" to have Bony training with his players.

Flynn added: "Excellent work ethic, professionalism and standards. Boys will take a lot from this."

Newport boss Flynn described Bony as a joy to work with - but dismissed any talk of him playing for the club because he can still operate "at a much higher level".

When asked if there was any chance of him pulling on the Newport shirt, Bony said: "No, no, no. Not now."

Funniest thing Bony come out with after he secured his big move from Swansea to Manchester City was 'I've dreamed about playing for City since I was 10 years old'

Strange thing to come out with considering Manchester City's local derby when he was 10 was against Macclesfield Town in the 2nd division.
