West Ham look at loan move for Wilfried Bony

West Ham are set to make a loan move for Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony, according to The Express.

The report says that West Ham are looking at a loan move for the forward, as Slaven Bilic looks to end his striker woes.

Bilic has been on the lookout for a new top-class centre-forward this summer, with some seeing Andre Ayew as the man. Ayew joined from Swansea for £20.5m but is now out for four months with an injury he picked up on his debut against Chelsea last Monday in the Premier League.

West Ham are now set to turn their attentions to Bony, who looks set for an exit from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side. He is behind Sergio Aguero and Kelechi Iheanacho in the pecking order, which means his game time is limited despite costing Manchester City £27m in 2013.

The Hammers are looking for a loan deal, but Manchester City would prefer a permanent deal, which could be the sticking point in this deal.
