Chelsea have joined the battle for Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony.

The Daily Star Sunday says Blues have identified Bony as the perfect man to boost the club's attacking options and are ready to take on Manchester City and Liverpool to get their man.

But while City and Liverpool may make a move in the January transfer window, Jose Mourinho is prepared to wait until the summer content he has enough strength in depth for the remainder of the season.

And the Blues believe a cash plus Loic Remy offer will be enough to persuade Swansea they are the club to do business with when they do decide to sell.
