The Manchester City striker joins on a season-long loan for a reported £2 million fee, with hopes of returning to his old Swansea City form in the Potteries rather than regurgitate his sorry tally of six goals over 36 appearances for the Blues. In those outings, Bony completed 90 minutes just four times.

Before his City switch in January 2015, Bony's Premier League record comprised of a goal every 2.16 games.

At Bet365 Stadium, Bony will compete with Jonathan Walters, Bojan Krkic, Mame Biram Diouf, and Peter Crouch up front, and will look to remedy a poor return of two goals in Stoke's opening three league matches.

The Ivorian's debut could come Sept. 10 when Tottenham Hotspur visits.
