Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has revealed his excitement about the possibility of playing on the same team as Wilfried Bony.

Swansea City striker Bony is expected to complete his move to the Premier League champions this week, with the two clubs reportedly settling on a fee close to £27m for his services, and Fernandinho believes that the Ivorian will be a good addition to the current squad.

"He's scored a lot of goals while he's been in England and this season, and also against Manchester City - so to have him playing for us will be great," the Brazilian midfielder told reporters.

"The manager and the people who work with him know very well what we need. We have a great squad, good players, but if they think we need to sign another striker - then that's what they'll do.

"Hopefully it will strengthen our squad for the rest of the season and it will help us to win trophies."

Reports have suggested that City are also considering making a move for Southampton forward Jay Rodriguez this month.
