Nottingham Forest will reportedly battle Fulham for Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure in January.
The 29-year-old signed for the Toffees for £25m in 2020, after several impressive seasons with Watford. The Mali international was instrumental for Frank Lampard’s side last term as the Premier League ever-presents staved off the threat of relegation, contributing with four assists and two goals across 30 appearances, but has since lost his place in the team.
Everton bolstered their midfield options with the return of Idrissa Gana Gueye and arrival of Amadou Onana, leading to suggestions that Doucoure could leave in January. Forest are said to be battling Fulham for the midfielder’s signature, while two other players have also been touted with a move to the City Ground.
