Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Bony has had two spells with Swansea CityIvory Coast striker Wilfried Bony is to leave Swansea City, alongside club captain Leroy Fer. Two more players whose contracts are up next month, Sweden defender Martin Olsson and Dutch wing Luciano Narsingh, will also depart on free transfers. Swansea have also announced that Wayne Routledge has been released, but the veteran winger could yet be offered a new deal. Swansea have been cutting costs since relegation from the Premier League 12 months ago, and the exits of Fer, Bony, Olsson and Narsingh will take a significant chunk off their wage bill. The Netherlands midfielder, 29, came close to joining Aston Villa in January, and departs having scored 10 goals in 101 appearances since joining Swansea in February 2016.
