Wilfried Bony, Forward, Swansea to Man City<\/em><\/p>\nSwansea\u2019s win rate falls from 38% in the 42 matches Bony has played since the start of last season to just 19% in the 16 he\u2019s missed. Furthermore, they\u2019ve averaged 1.57 goals per game with him but just 0.81 without, as 11 of 16 matches have had fewer than three goals. Swansea will surely struggle to replace Bony\u2019s goals, whilst City will be hoping that he will boost their title charge once he returns from international duty at the African Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
Phillip Wollscheid, Defender, Bayer Leverkusen to Stoke (Loan)<\/em><\/p>\nWollscheid has only played 12 games for Leverkusen since the start of last season and in these games Leverkusen average 1.33 points per game, compared to 2.12 in the 24 games without Wollscheid. However, Leverkusen\u2019s average goals conceded does go up from 1.00 to 1.29 without Wollscheid and this is also the case going back to 09\/10; since then, Leverkusen\u2019s average goals conceded in the 43 games Wollscheid has played is 1.09, but this goes up to 1.30 in the 27 games without him. Stoke will be hoping that Wollscheid will add further stability to their defence, which is already the eighth best in the league in terms of goals conceded.<\/p>\n
Matt Grimes, Midfielder, Exeter to Swansea<\/em><\/p>\nSwansea looked to have unearthed a talented youngster in central midfielder Matt Grimes, who\u2019s been impressive for Exeter this season, playing 20 of their 27 games. In the games he\u2019s missed Exeter average only 1.29 points per games, compared with 1.55 when he\u2019s played and their average goals conceded also goes up markedly from 1.1 to 2.14 without Grimes in the team.<\/p>\n
