Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone reveals that his distinctive bleach-blonde hairstyle is influenced by former Chicago Bulls player Dennis Rodman.

Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone has revealed that he bases his distinctive hairstyle on former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman.

Kone admitted that NBA standout Rodman was a big influence on him growing up and gave him the inspiration to maintain a bleach-blond look throughout his career.

He told The Guardian: "I always admired sportsmen with a look of their own, like Dennis Rodman.

"I thought I would do the same, so I would always be recognisable. This is the look that came to mind but it doesn't necessarily reflect the person underneath.

"Rodman was a big influence on me when I was growing up in Africa but, of course, he played basketball. In football terms, the players I wanted to imitate most were George Weah and the Brazilian Ronaldo. They were both exceptional players who had qualities different to the rest."

The 29-year-old has scored four times in the Premier League since joining Wigan from Levante during the close season.
