Everton have reportedly considered the possibility of loaning out Arouna Kone when the transfer window reopens in January.

Kone moved to Goodison Park from Wigan Athletic in July 2013, but his time on Merseyside has been frustrating, largely due to a serious knee injury which kept him out for a year.

Roberto Martinez revealed that the 31-year-old could feature against Wolfsburg in the Europa League on Thursday night, but he is likely to find his chances limited due to the form of Romelu Lukaku and Samuel Eto'o.

According to talkSPORT, the Toffees could loan Kone to another club in an attempt to help the striker regain full fitness.

Kone's former club Levante were recently linked with a move, but a switch to a Championship side is also believed to be a possibility.
