12 biggest stars released by Premier League clubs in summer 2017

#8 Arouna Kone

The 33-year-old striker, though, has a good track record of finding the net when he is fit

Another player to have his share of injury problems is Arouna Kone, who has not been retained by Everton. He managed only six appearances in all competitions last season for the Toffees, turning out for a mere 72 minutes in the Premier League, spread over six matches.

The 33-year-old striker, though, has a good track record of finding the net when he is fit, and enjoyed a particularly fruitful spell in the Netherlands earlier in his career, when he netted 48 times in 116 Eredivisie appearances for Roda and PSV, winning the title with the latter in 2006 and 2007.

He also won the FA Cup with Wigan in 2012-13, when he was a major part of their side.
