Ten Premier League Summer Signings That Look Doomed to Fail

8. Arouna Kone (Everton)

Although new Everton manager Roberto Martinez will know Arouna Kone well from their old club Wigan, he seems to be struggling to replicate his form of last year so far with the Toffees. The Ivorian’s career has been consistently inconsistent if nothing else, and he went on a run of scoring just two goals in four years not so long ago.

Martinez’s side have struggled to convert their chances into goals so far this season, leading the Spaniard to enter the market on deadline day for the loan signing of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. The Belgian had a great season on loan at West Brom last year, and could quickly become first choice at Goodison Park with the current form of Kone, which had obviously concerned his manager as well.
