The Ivory Coast FA claimed this morning that a £28m deal had been completed and hastily tweeted: "Striker Wilfried Bony has just signed with Manchester City on this Wednesday, January 14, 2015."
Despite tweeting the announcement, there is still paperwork to be thrashed out before a deal is formally ratified.
And an Ivorian sports outlet has gone one step further tweeting an image of Bony holding the Citizens shirt with his new squad number '14'.

Bony was pictured with the Ivory Coast president Sidy Dallo and beamed a big smile as if to signal a deal was wrapped up.
Swansea have denied a deal has been struck and said they will formally announce it once it has reached a natural conclusion.
Bony has plundered 34 goals in 70 games at Swansea.
