Liverpool And West Ham Still In Bony Hunt

Liverpool and West Ham will have the chance to bid for Wilfried Bony at the end of the season after the striker failed to secure a switch to Russia.

The free-scoring Ivorian has signalled his desire to leave Vitesse Arnhem and had hinted he would look to move to one of Russia's top sides this month.

However, the Russian transfer window closed on Tuesday night and no clubs made an offer for him - meaning West Ham and Liverpool are free to reprise their interest in the summer.

Vitesse interim director Erwin Kasakowski believes the forward will complete the season in Holland - although clubs in Ukraine could look to snap him up before their window slams shut on Friday.

Kasakowski told Dutch newspaper AD: "No club in Russia came to us with an offer, so Wilfried will finish the season at Vitesse."
