Several Championship clubs have been linked with Kone after an excellent 18 months at Wycombe, and in August, it was Queens Park Rangers who secured his signature.
As has been the case throughout Connie’s roller-coaster ride over the past two years, another milestone – perhaps the biggest of all – was just around the corner.
His first call-up to Ivory Coast and his first appearance.
Three months after joining the Hoops, Kone earned the call-up every player dreams of and made his international debut as a 62nd-minute substitute in the 2-0 friendly win over Oman in Seeb on 18 November.
“This is what I play football for, to represent my country at the international level,” Kone told the Rising Ballers YouTube channel., external After signing with Queens Park Rangers.
“The Africa Cup of Nations, and maybe the World Cup… That’s why I’m always fighting, trying to be the best so I can get a call-up.”
Tavares said everyone at Athletic Newham “always knew that Kone had something special”.
He added: “His progress is no surprise to those who saw him every day, and in the end he got the opportunity he deserved.”
“A wonderful journey and we are proud to have been a part of it.”
