Retired Super Eagles forward Efan Ekoku says he is unhappy that Ivory Coast international Wilfried Bony chose Manchester City over Liverpool. <br /><br />Bony has penned a four - and - a - half year deal with The Citizens, with the English Premier League champions expected to pay Swansea City at least 25 million pounds for agreeing to sell their key player.<br /><br />&ldquo;If I&rsquo;m being honest I&rsquo;m disappointed because he&rsquo;s not going to get the game time that I think he deserves. <br /><br />&ldquo;<span itemprop="articleBody">The qualities that he&rsquo;s shown over the last two seasons in the Premier League deserve a regular place</span>,&rdquo; said Efan Ekoku to London Evening Standard.<br /><span itemprop="articleBody"><br /></span>The former Wimbledon striker went on : &ldquo;You&rsquo;d hope that the player would be smart enough to say &lsquo;Okay, Liverpool may not be winning the championship this season but they&rsquo;ve got a good chance qualifying for the Champions League.<br /><br />&ldquo;He&rsquo;d certainly be ahead of Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert for example but who knows maybe Liverpool weren&rsquo;t interested.&rdquo;<br /><br />Wilfried Bony is the third Ivorian player bought by Man City in recent years, following the footsteps of Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure.<br /><br />Photo Credit : ex - canaries.co.uk<br />
