Nottingham Forest-linked Abdoulaye Doucoure has been subject of comments from Everton boss Sean Dyche as his future remains up in the air.
Doucoure had fallen out of favour under former manager Frank Lampard, playing just one full match on the opening day against Chelsea. However, since Dyche took over, he has been an ever-present player in midfield.
Having entered the final months of his contract, the Toffees hold the option to extend it for a further season. Forest were linked with the 30-year-old along with Fulham in the January window.
