Everton are set to extend Abdoulaye Doucoure’s contract by a further year, the ECHO understands.
The midfielder has been central to Everton’s fight against relegation under Sean Dyche, who brought him straight into the first team following his appointment in late January. Doucoure has repaid that faith with a number of important goals and standout performances.
Doucoure had been keen to commit his future to the club for some time and Everton are now expected to trigger the club’s option to keep him on Merseyside for a further 12 months.
