Everton have decided to recall Cardiff City loanee Niels Nkounkou and loan him back out to French side St Etienne.
A move to Ligue 2 has looked a real possibility for the last few days now, with Nkounkou seemingly falling out of favour at the Cardiff City Stadium in recent weeks.
Reports in France earlier this week claimed talks over another loan away from Goodison Park were at an advanced stage, and a deal loaning him back out has now been confirmed by the Toffees.
