Kone: I want to prove I can cut it at Everton

Arouna Kone has spoken of his desire to show he is good enough to play for Everton after an injury-hit spell thus far.

A fully fit Arouna Kone is desperate to prove he can "cut it" at Everton next season.

The Ivory Coast striker moved to Goodison Park from Wigan Athletic in July 2013, but endured a frustrating 13-month spell on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury sustained in November of the same year.

Kone returned to make 16 appearances in all competitions last term, scoring just once in a 3-2 Premier League defeat at Newcastle United in December.
