Forgotten Premier League star and trophy winner at Man City joins TENTH club as he makes shock move to BOLIVIA | The Sun

FORGOTTEN Premier League star Wilfried Bony has joined the TENTH club of his career, moving to BOLIVIAN team Always Ready.

The 34-year-old was an instant hit when he joined Swansea from Dutch side Vitesse in 2013.

Bony scored 39 goals and assisted nine in 96 appearances for the then Prem outfit, earning himself a big-money move to Manchester City after two years in Wales.

The ex-Ivory Coast star, who netted 18 goals in 59 appearances for his country, won a League Cup during his time at the Etihad – but ultimately failed to live up to the expectations of his £28.4million transfer.

Bony had a loan spell at Stoke between 2016 and 2017, before re-joining Swansea for another two-year stint.

His journey in the UK started and ended with Swansea, as he moved to the Middle East in 2019 to play for teams Al-Arabi and Al-Ittihad.

Bony spent three years playing in Qatar and then Saudi Arabia before returning to Holland to play for NEC Nijmegen.

But he only made a 15-minute substitute appearance from January onwards, and was let go at the end of the 2022 season.

After spending the first half of this season without a club, Bony has now landed in Bolivia to play for Always Ready, who are excited by the striker's arrival.

They said on Instagram: "A surprise for our fans.
