These 2 Everton stars must leave in January for their own good

Arouna Kone

After three-and-a-half years at Everton and 59 appearances, it looks like striker Arouna Kone is set to leave Goodison Park.

The 33-year-old forward was brought to the club by former boss Roberto Martinez after the successful time they both had at Wigan, yet Kone’s best goal-scoring season came last time out, when he scored just five times in the Premier League for the Toffees.

And, with Romelu Lukaku the main man at Goodison Park, and Koeman placing faith in youngster Ademola Lookman, Kone’s chances to getting regular first team football are diminishing by the day.

He has appeared just six times in all competitions this season, and all six of which were from the substitute’s bench, totalling 76 minutes of football.

Championship duo QPR and Wolves have reportedly expressed an interest in the striker’s services, which would be a good move for both Everton and indeed Kone.
