Wilfried Bony has penned a one-year contract extension at Premier League side Swansea City.
The Ivory Coast international, who was strongly linked with a switch to Liverpool over the summer, is now under contract at the Liberty Stadium until 2018.
Bony hit 25 goals in his first season with Swansea last term and has already scored four times in eleven Premier League games this season.
And Swansea manager Garry Monk has been quick to express his delight at Bony's intention to prolong his stay.

"It’s great news for the club", Monk told the Swansea site.
"I’ve spoken a lot about what Bony has brought to the club not just on the pitch but off it as well.
"These types of players are ones that we do our best to keep at the club for a long time. But it’s also important that we see commitment from that player towards the club, his team-mates and the fans.
"Bony has shown that he is very committed to this club by signing an extension here."
