Lamine Kone wants to stay at Sunderland despite interest from Everton.

The 27-year-old was a key performer for the Black Cats in the second half of last season, after joining from Lorient, and helped them stay in the Premier League.

The powerful Ivory Coast international has continued his good form in pre-season, scoring against Borussia Dortmund in Friday's 1-1 friendly draw.
