Arouna Kone becomes Roberto Martinez's first Everton signing after joining from Wigan on three-year deal The Ivory Coast international has followed the Spaniard from Wigan after a fee, believed to be around £6.5million, was agreed last week. He scored 13 goals for relegated club last season but has followed Martinez to remain in the Premier League. Martinez originally signed Kone from La Liga side Levante in 2012 with the striker having previously played for Lierse SK, Roda JC, PSV Eindhoven and Sevilla. Having played international football at the end of last season, Kone is set to link up with his new Everton team-mates later this month. Meanwhile, Martinez is also trying to tie up the signature of Antolin Alcaraz, another of his former Wigan players, who is a free agent after his contract expired.
