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.
