Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has revealed that he was close to leaving Goodison Park under former boss Frank Lampard.
The former Watford man cut a frustrated figure during his time on Merseyside under Lampard as he was reduced to just one start in, what proved to be, a final season in L4 for the iconic England midfielder.
Under new manager Sean Dyche, the Mali international has been everpresent in the heart of the Blues midfield after winning two and losing three under the 51-year-old thus far. The 30-year-old is into the final six months of his contract at Everton as they look to beat the drop.
