Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony has ended the season as the top scorer in the Dutch top flight.

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international notched 31 goals in 32 league games, helping his side to finish fourth in the Eredivisie.

Bony's goal haul included two hat-tricks - against Heerenveen and Heracles - and a run where he scored 15 goals over 10 consecutive matches.

He has hit 51 goals in 66 games since signing from Sparta Prague in 2011.

Bony, who cost Vitesse a bargain £4m, is being tracked by the biggest clubs in Europe, including English Premier League sides Chelsea and West Ham.

South African midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo has signed a three-year deal with Dutch Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle.

The midfielder previously played for SuperSport United before moving overseas in 2008 where he signed with Feyenoord and then went on loan to Excelsior before moving back to Feyenoord.

Mokotjo says he is delighted with his move to Zwolle. “I was ready for a new challenge and I am happy with this opportunity.

“A few weeks ago the club showed some interest in me and after an initial discussion with Zwolle coach Ron Jans and technical director Gerard Nijkamp, I was positive that something good would happen.

Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone scored as FA Cup finalists Wigan edged West Bromwich Albion 3-2 at the weekend to boost hopes of dodging relegation from the English Premier League.

Kone, who stands out with his dyed blond hair, was in the Ivorian squad that flopped at the 2013 Cup of Nations, losing to eventual champions Nigeria in the quarter-finals.

Lacina Traore was another happy Ivorian goal poacher, coming on as a late substitute for Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala to equalise and then set up the winner for Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o.

ENGLAND

Ivory Coast and Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony has admitted that he would be interested in a move to the English Premier League.

The 24-year-old is currently the top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie with 31 goals only Lionel Messi has more goals in a major European league this season.

Chelsea and West Ham are among the clubs that have been linked with Bony.

"The transfer market has not started yet. There's nothing concrete," he told BBC Sport.

"There is a lot of talk about me in the newspapers but I'm still focused on the last two games of the season with Vitesse and at the end of the season we will see.

It was the African Show as Nancy beat Evian TG 3:1 in the French top-flight on Sunday.

All goals in the tie were scored by African players with Cameroon striker Benjamin Moukandjo Bile striking twice to seal the win for Nancy after compatriot Paul Efoulou had opened scoring.

Tunisia striker Saber Khelifa netted the consolation goal for visitors Evian TG. It was his tenth goal of the season.

Khelifa's international team-mate Wahbi Khazri netted his seventh goal of the campaign for Bastia, but it proved only a consolation as visitors Lille stormed back to win the tie 2:1.

African stars had mixed luck in the FA Cup semi-finals at the weekend with Ivorian Arouna Kone helping Wigan triumph while a superb goal from Senegalese Demba Ba could not prevent Chelsea going out.

Kone burst clear of several defenders to create the first goal as Wigan took time off from an English Premier League relegation struggle to defeat second-tier Millwall 2-0 and earn a first FA Cup final appearance.

Ba scored with an acrobatic half-volley for Chelsea to halve a two-goal deficit against fellow giants Manchester City, but an equaliser eluded the title-holders at a packed Wembley stadium.

An outrageous lob by Ivorian legend Didier Drogba helped inspire holders Galatasaray to a 3:1 comeback spanking of Mersin in the Turkish Superlig on Saturday.

Drogba, who played all 90 minutes, scored twice in the second half to seal the home win and provisionally lift the Istanbul giants seven points clear at the top.

However the former Chelsea hitman showed he still had his famed deadly instincts when he intuitively connected with a team-mate's ball on the edge of the area to loop it into the net to make the scores 2:1 in the 69th minute.

The 35-year-old then capped the win in the 84th minute, meeting a cross on the far post with a trademark thumping header.

Cote d'Ivoire strikers Gervinho, Salomon Kalou and Wilfried Bony were on target for the clubs in league games played in Europe on this Saturday.

Gervinho came off the bench to score his first league goal for Arsenal since September last year and seal a 2:0 win at Swansea City. The 25-year-old joined the fray on 71 minutes and slotted underneath the goalkeeper after being played through in stoppage time.

Former Chelsea star Kalou scored at both ends and missed a penalty as his club Lille slumped 2:1 at home to Evian TG. It was Kalou's third goal of the campaign.

Meanwhile there is no stopping Bony, who bagged a brace for Vitesse Arnham in their 4:0 thumping of hosts ADO Den Haag.

Dutch champions Ajax Amsterdam have taken up an option in Thulani Serero’s contract and extended his tenure at the club until June 30, 2015, a club statement said on Tuesday.

Serero signed a contract in May 2011 with the Dutch club after being transferred from Ajax Cape Town, where he had played for three seasons prior to his move to the Netherlands.

His original contract was for a two year period from July 1 2011 to 30 June 2013, with the option for a further two year period.

Serero, who made his debut in August 2011 for Ajax, has played 19 official matches in the Ajax first team, scoring three times, the statement added.

Pierre Aubameyang was on target for the 18th time in Ligue 1 - and remains the second top scorer in the league - after equalising in the 65th minute for Saint Etienne. Thanks to the Gabon striker's effort his side drew 2-2 away at Rennes.

Benjamin Moukandjo fired home his third for struggling Nancy who lost 2-1 at league leaders Paris Saint-Germain. The Cameroon striker had given the visitors the lead in the 36th minute but Nancy succumbed to two goals in the second-half.

Cape Verde striker Odair Fortes gave Reims some hope of getting an equaliser with his 77th minute goal, but an 88th minute substitution paid off for Troyes who sealed the points in added time. It was the Guinea striker Mohamed Yattara's second goal for Troyes.
