Everton urged to scout QPR striker Richard Kone after record-breaking hat-trick
Everton manager David Moyes is urged to scout Championship striker Richard Kone as the Toffees struggle to find a reliable goalscorer. Following defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal, the club's lack of depth in attack has become a pressing issue for the January transfer window. Current first-choice striker Thierno Barry has scored six goals across all competitions this term, but only three of those have come in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Kone made his mark with a fifteen-minute hat-trick against Swansea City in a five-nil victory, a feat described as the quickest in English history since records began. While a move based on a single performance is unlikely, pundits suggest his physicality and movement offer a useful alternative to Barry. Everton scouts are advised to monitor his progress in the Championship before making any approach in the winter market.
