Vitesse Arnhem have completed the capture of Bony Wilfried from Czech side Sparta Prague.

The fee involved in the deal to take the Ivory Coast international to Holland is believed to be €4.1million (£3.5m).

The 22-year-old leaves Prague after scoring 10 goals in 17 appearances for Sparta this season.

It is that fine form which brought him to Vitesse's attention and they have wasted no time in making their move.

"Bony leaves today [Sunday] for the Netherlands where a three-and-a-half-year contract is ready for him," said Sparta spokesman Jakub Otava.

Wilfried has spent the last four years in the Czech Republic, having initially begun his career in his homeland.

His impressive progress over recent years has seen him earn international recognition and he was handed his Ivory Coast debut in a friendly against Poland in November 2010.
