West Ham United have reportedly joined the chase to sign Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone.
The Ivory Coast international, who scored 13 goals last season, had been tipped to follow former boss Roberto Martinez to Everton.
However, the Hammers are now interested in bringing the 29-year-old to Upton Park, according to The Mirror.
Kone moved to Wigan on a three-year deal from Sevilla last summer for around £2.7m.
