Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony, linked with a move to England, is now on Benfica's radar.

Bony scored a staggering 31 goals in 30 league matches in the Eredivisie last season and impressed watching scouts from the Premier League.

The Ivorian is said to be considering a new challenge and that has alerted clubs in England's top-flight, with West Ham, Arsenal and Liverpool all said to be weighing up bids.

However, nobody has made their move yet and that has opened the door for Benfica.

The Portuguese side are heading for a summer overhaul following a heartbreaking season.

They finished one point behind rivals Porto in the Portuguese league, lost the Europa League final to Chelsea in the last minute and also lost their domestic cup competition to Vitória de Guimarães.

As a result, manager Jorge Jesus is ready to reinvigorate his squad and Bony, 24, is the man he wants.
