Kone dreams of Premiership

Ivory Coast striker Bakary Kone has revealed that he dreams of playing in the Premiership at some stage of his career. The Nice striker is reportedly the subject of interest from Sunderland and Fulham.

"The Premier League is the most exciting league," Kone told skysports.com.

"Every player in the world dreams of playing in that league, with the big crowds and the coverage it gets around the globe.

"When I was growing up it was all about the French league but today people talk of (Didier) Drobga, (Abdoulaye) Meite, (Didier) Zokora, (Salomon) Kalou. I really want to be part of that.

"I am very fast and technically very good. All the players in the Premier League have those qualities so I can make a name for myself."
