Mory Koné Eyes Potential Move to English Football
Mory Koné, the 20-year-old Franco-Ivorian defender currently under contract with Italian side Parma, could be heading to England next season. Reports from Espoirsdufootball.com reveal that English clubs Swansea City and Norwich City have shown interest in securing the young defender on loan.
Koné, who has yet to make a senior appearance for Parma since signing last season, spent the latter half of the campaign on loan at Crotone in Italy’s Serie B. His limited playing time in Italy has not deterred interest abroad, with both English clubs reportedly exploring a temporary deal to bolster their defensive options.
In addition to the Premier League suitors, Turkish Süper Lig club Sivasspor is also said to be monitoring Koné’s situation closely.
A product of the Paris region’s youth football system, Koné developed at Montigny-les-Cormeilles, Paris Saint-Germain, and Sannois Saint-Gratien before moving to Italy. His versatility and potential make him an intriguing prospect for clubs aiming to strengthen their defensive ranks with young talent.
