Everton's new manager Roberto Martinez will return to former club Wigan Athletic to make Arouna Kone and Antolin Alcaraz his first signings.
.
Talks between the two clubs over a deal for striker Kone, who scored 11 Premier League goals last season, are moving towards a successful conclusion. Paraguay defender Alcaraz is out of contract and will join on a free.
.
However, the future of Leighton Baines will be Martinez's top priority when he starts work on Wednesday.
.
Manchester United had a £12m bid for the England defender rejected by Everton, but new boss David Moyes is expected to return with a better offer.
.
Baines has two years left on his contract at Goodison Park.
Arouna Kone's inclusion in Everton's squad wouldn't be a bad idea at all being that he is a very skillfull player.
