Despite the transfer window being closed, there is always transfer gossip doing the rounds in the papers and we’ll keep you up-to-date with the latest news during the coming months. Today, Wilfried Bony would be open to a move to Chelsea.
Vitesse Arnham striker Wilfried Bony has welcomed links suggesting Chelsea were interested in him and admitted he would be open to a move to Stamford Bridge, according to the Mirror.
The £8m-rated hitman has attracted interest from throughout Europe after his excellent start to the season in Holland which sees him currently topping the goal-scoring charts in the Eredivisie.
Chelsea’s sporting director Michael Emenalo was in the stands to watch the Ivory Coast striker in action during Vitesse Arnham’s 0-0 draw with FC Twente on Sunday, while Everton, Liverpool and Aston Villa have also been credited with interest.
But it’s a move to the European champions that the 23-year-old has his eyes on, admitting it’s an honour to be linked with a ‘top club’ like Chelsea and he would welcome a switch to West London if the two clubs can agree a deal:
“It’s not the number one topic for me at the moment, but if they write about me going there, then it’s great isn’t it?
“But seriously, if they want me, it would be a great honour. I would be glad to go to such a club.
“I love English football and wouldn’t be afraid to play there. Chelsea are a top club.
“If Chelsea are interested in the winter and the clubs reach an agreement, then why not?
“We’ll see what happens. At the moment I want to be playing as well as I can for Vitesse.
“I know that Chelsea and Arnhem are close and some of the Chelsea lads are here on loan, including Tomas [Kalas]. I have discussed it with him many times already.”

Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo is keen to add to his striking options when the window re-opens in January, with current front man Fernando Torres struggling with his form in front of goal. Reports suggest Radamel Falcao could be heading to Stamford Bridge but it remains to be seen whether Roman Abramovich will splash out the hefty fee required to land the Columbian, and Bony looks like a worthy back-up if the Russian decides against it.
Would you like to see Bony at Chelsea? Or have you got your heart set on Falcao? Get involved in the comments section.
I think need falcao 2 2ake TORRES’S Place.
I would love to see Bony at Chelsea but i have gotten my heart set on Falcao. Though, to get the both would be fantastic

We need falcao for torres but bony would be good
I like bony pls sell torres
Pls buy fellani and falcao
I’m only praying for the right attacker to join chelsea falcao or bony any one that is right God bring it for the blues am dyin in silent I dnt knw what hapen to torres I’m confuse about him truly. I pray for hime 2 come back to form sooner than expect.
I sugest we shuld consider bony, bcoz we need exactly didier copyrite. Am sure in maintime he’ll wuld do d same like drogba. Pls keep torres even if we buy anoda two striker.
I prefer hunteler and bony coz d fame dat affect Torres and schevchenko and pizzaro may affect Falcao
buy falcao n fellaini.then kip torres but 4 bony 4t wud be optional bekoz wen these purchases go thru,he’ll be on bench!
I will lyk 2 see bony at chelsea
Bony is the best man for Chelsea,Falcao is an on and off attacker.
I lyk bony pass falcao
Bony’ll be a great buy. Don’t really understand what the problem is with Chelsea & high profile strikers. For one-too many reasons,any big name striker’s not what we need because what happened to others’ll definitely affect Falcao should Chelsea get him!
I think we need both of then couse is not goood to relly on one striker
i think bony is beta dan falcao bcos falcao is on and off player so chelsea should not make mistake again.
Chelsea should sign Bony and sell Torres coz the presence of Torres will cause unnecessary panic of the younger strikers.
We are tire of this torres,please bring us hunteler and falcao
Sick nd tired ds old Headlines bt d/f stories. What is wrong with chelsea management. I dn’t nid big or small striker. What i nid is a goals manufacturer pls RDM do something now or come nd sign ME. I will give u goals. Chelsea my dearest club.
I lyk bony pass falcao becoz falcao is a worldclass player n all d defender will fight 2 stop him not 2 net jst as dey did 2 torres. but dey will underate bony b4 we know he has net enough goals 4 us.
Chelsea needs Fellaini and Falcao
Though i neva watch him play b4 bt if he s wat best 4cfc den let go 4him.al i care s to get a beta strika lyk dd,vp,facao. Strika dat ll produce wen ll nid it dat s al. I agree dat if facao kom al eye ll b on him lyk shev,pizaro,tores so ll shud go 4 unknown beta stronger wit gud finisha lyk Legend DD did 4us plz
I think d only alternative to chelsea strike force is to go for an african striker bcos they ar always a threat in d premiaship,go 4 bony my blue!
Get me bony n willian,bt dnt sell tores cos he will improve
Go for bonny pls, we need goal poacher strikers not world class
