May 9 : Inter Milan forward Ange-Yoan Bonny has completed a switch of nationality and will be available for selection for the Ivory Coast when they announce their World Cup squad on Friday.

French-born Bonny’s request to change his footballing nationality from France, for whom he played at Under-21 level two years ago, was granted by world soccer’s governing body FIFA on Friday.

The 22-year-old Bonny is of Ivorian heritage and expected to be included in their 26-man squad for the World Cup.

He helped Inter win the Serie A title this season, proving a super sub for the Italian club with five league goals.
