Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone has joined Everton on a three-year deal in a move re-uniting him with his former Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez.
.
The Premier League club said on their website (www.evertonfc.com) on Monday that Kone had joined for an undisclosed fee from relegated Wigan.
.
The powerful 29-year-old scored 13 goals for the FA Cup winners last season under Spanish boss Martinez, who moved to Everton as the replacement for Manchester United-bound David Moyes.
.
Martinez first signed the Ivorian international from La Liga club Levante in 2012.
I guess they know next season would be difficult now that they've lost David Moyes to Manchester United. They need to improve on the squad....
