Liverpool are ready to rival Everton with a £6.5m bid for Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone, according to reports.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to rival Merseyside rivals Everton for the signature of Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone.

The 29-year-old was a consistent performer for Wigan in his debut campaign last season, scoring 13 goals in all competitions.

Kone is widely expected to leave the DW Stadium this summer, with new Toffees boss Roberto Martinez the first to be linked with his former marksman.

After learning that the Ivory Coast forward is available for £6.5m Liverpool are monitoring his situation closely with a view to a summer bid, according to The Sun.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is actively seeking to strengthen his forward line in the close season, with Luis Suarez persistently linked with a move away from Anfield in recent weeks.

Celta Vigo talisman Iago Aspas is expected to complete his move to Liverpool this weekend, but Rodgers is still searching for another striker to support in-form forward Daniel Sturridge.
