Capone an individual without friends? (5)

I believe the answer is:

alone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'without friends?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'capone an' is the wordplay.
'capone' becomes 'Al' (gangster Al Capone).
'an' becomes 'one'.
'al'+'one'='ALONE'

'individual' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alone that I've seen before include "Without others present" , "Unaccompanied" , "Isolated from others" , "Single" , "unique" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
