Wigan could lose duo Arouna Kone and Antolin Alcaraz. Defender Alcaraz, 30, is available as a free agent while 29-year-old striker Kone has a release clause of £6.5m.
What’s the story? Both will want to play in the Premier League or another top big league and have aptitude to do so.
Does it make sense? Yes. Kone looked like he could get 15-20 goals in the right team and Wigan looked appreciably worse when Alcaraz was missing.
Is the price right? Both huge bargains.
Will it happen? 7/10: Kone to Everton – Martinez will want a new striker and may feel like he can get 20 goals with Everton’s superior supply line. 5/10: Alcaraz stays in England – a move to La Liga could tempt him.
