SAM ALLARDYCE would move for Lamine Kone a second time if he could prove he is fit.
The new Everton boss signed Kone at Sunderland two years ago and the centre-half turned their season.
Kone has been out of form since — with a move to Everton collapsing and causing friction last season — and he is now recovering from a knee injury.
Sunderland would let Kone go cheaply to get him off their payroll.
There could be big changes at Goodison Park in January, according to some reports.
Summer signing Sandro Ramirez may be allowed to return to Spain on loan with Valencia.
Big Sam is believed to be eyeing a new striker and could apparently make an audacious attempt for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
There’s also believed to be interest in midfield powerhouse Steven N’Zonzi, who admits he will leave Sevilla after a bust-up with boss Eduardo Berizzo.

Another player reportedly of interest to Everton is Theo Walcott.
The winger could be allowed to leave Arsenal in January but is also said to be wanted by Southampton and West Ham.
