Sean Dyche has revealed Everton control whether or not to extend Abdoulaye Doucoure's contract - and believes Ellis Simms still has a lot developing to do.
Doucoure appeared to be on the verge of leaving Goodison Park in January after seeing his game time cut under Frank Lampard. He made just 12 appearances in all competitions for Lampard this season.
However, Dyche immediately put Doucoure into his starting line-up for his first game against Arsenal back in February, and he has been an ever-present ever since. His upturn in form has been nothing short of a revelation.
