Queens Park Rangers striker Richard Kone has received his first senior Ivory Coast international call-up for their friendly against Saudi Arabia on 14 November.

The 22-year-old joined the R's from Wycombe Wanderers in August and has scored four goals in 12 Championship appearances so far this season.

Kone received his maiden call-up for Ivory Coast Under-23s in May but did not feature for the side.

However, he has previously represented his country in the 2019 Homeless World Cup.
