Wealthy Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala are eyeing a summer swoop for Vitesse striker Wilfried Bony, pulling out all the stops to snap up the Ivorian ahead of his army of Premier League suitors.
Bony's exploits, and preference for a switch to England, have seen a whole host of sides from the Premier League linked with bidding for his services. Regularly listed as fans are Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Stoke, Newcastle, Everton and West Ham.
Bony recently spoke positively about the possibility of signing for Chelsea, while he has also gone on record as claiming he could be the "new Didier Drogba".
Anzhi Makhachkala would like Bony to place his Premier League ambitions on ice however.
According to Russian daily Izvestia, Guus Hiddink's men are lining up a lucrative contract for Bony, which will include a high basic wage and a number of bonuses.
