'More than goals, it's the way Kone plays for the team'
Julien Stephan: 'We are not the finished team yet, but I love my players already'

Queens Park Ranger boss Julien Stephan has praised summer signing Richard Kone's "commitment" to the team before their Championship match against Wrexham on Saturday (15:00 BST).
The Ivorian striker, who joined the Rs in August from Wycombe Wanderers, has scored twice across his three Championship appearances.
But for boss Stephan, it's not the 22-year-old's goalscoring prowess that has impressed the most.
"For a striker, it's very important to see how you can work for the team and more than goals, it's the way he plays for the team," Stephan told BBC Radio London.
"It's all the commitment with the team-mates when we have the ball, when we don't have the ball, how he's able to run and how he's able to give some space for the other players around him. How he's able to defend, how he's able to press the opponent.
"I'm very happy, of course, with the goals but I'm very happy with the commitment of the player."
