Wilfried Bony will leave Swansea during this transfer window if the club receive £24million for him, leaving suitors relying on a cash-plus-players deal to tempt them.

Both Tottenham and Liverpool have shown an interest in the Ivory Coast forward, who moved to south Wales for £12m from Vitesse Arnhem last summer.

But Standard Sport understands Swansea would allow Bony, 25, to move if they can double their money. Anything below that would be accepted only with a suitable player exchange.

Swansea have yet to receive a firm bid for the player and they are not believed to have lined up a replacement.
