Defender looks to be a wanted man….again.

Its back again, that rumour or report that Sunderland’s centre half Lamine Kone will be a wanted man in the fourth coming winter transfer window.

This time its West Ham who are said to be wanting him, and could bid up to £15 million for the defender.

West Ham’s start of the season was not the best, but better than Sunderland’s, as the London club look to strength their side.

One of the let downs that added to West Hams dodgy start was at the back, which has triggered Slaven Bilic’s search for improvement in his defence.  After selling James Tomkins in the summer, West Ham missed out gaining a replacement.

The Sunderland defender was the centre of Wearside controversy after Everton tableted an offer, although Sunderland refused to sell the African.

Since then Kone has been a disappointment to what he was in his first season at Sunderland, many think his head has been turned.
