Stoke City have signed striker Wilfried Bony on a season-long loan deal from Premier League rivals Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Ivorian Bony, 27, has made 15 league starts since joining City for \u00a328m from Swansea in January 2015, but had not featured under new boss Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n

The Potters have also signed Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant, 33, on loan until January.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Porto and Netherlands defender Bruno Martins Indi, 24, is in talks with the club over a move.<\/p>\n

“Bringing Wilfried in was a no-brainer for us,” said Potters manager Mark Hughes. “He has power, speed and very good physical attributes.”<\/p>\n

Stoke targeted Ivory Coast international Bony as there had been no development in their attempt to sign West Brom forward Saido Berahino.<\/p>\n

Last week, West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic said he was interested in signing Bony, who has three years left to run on his contract at Etihad Stadium.
