Arouna Kone closely follows behind Martinez at Everton. Roberto singed the forward from Levante last summer to help bolster Wigan's Weak forward line. He made some good impressions on his first season in the league however Martinez was not going to easily give up on the Ivory Coast player, and not long after becoming new Merseyside Manger brought in with him Arouna.
The 29 year old will be singed to Everton for 3 years, the same as his contract with Wigan however the release clause in his contract was met and later the contract sorted. Kone said to BBC, "Every player dreams of playing for a bigger club and coming here is a big step up for me."
Some people believe Kone may not be good enough for a team as good as Everton. What's your view, a waste of money, or is there something else Roberto saw in Kone we haven't?
Nice piece. Well written too.
