Lamine Kone has been in woeful form for Sunderland recently.
When Lamine Kone arrived at Sunderland back in January 2016, his impact was immediate.
Kone played a crucial role for the Black Cats, as they performed a miraculous escape from relegation last term.
However, after a summer of speculation over his future, Kone’s head appears to have been turned.
The Ivorian has arguably been Sunderland’s biggest under-performer this season, in a campaign where they have badly disappointed.
Sunderland have picked up just 20 points throughout the season to date, and they are already 10 points adrift of safety.
And Black Cats fans appear to have completely turned against Kone, after his series of half hearted displays.
Kone’s departure from Sunderland appears to be inevitable, heading into the summer transfer window.
Everton were linked with the powerful centre-back last year, but it remains to be seen whether Ronald Koeman’s side are still interested (Sunderland Echo).
