Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure
Everton have extended Abdoulaye Doucoure's contract by a further season, but will he be playing in the Premier League or Championship in the 2023/24 campaign?
Everton have activated their option to extend the contract of midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure by 12 months.
It represents quite a turnaround in four months for the Mali international who, in the latter days of Frank Lampard’s reign, was training away from the first-team squad after a disagreement with the then Toffees boss.
Having been brought back into the fold when Sean Dyche was appointed in late January.
The 30-year-old has scored four goals – ending a drought dating back to September 2021 – in his last nine games, including two in the crucial 5-1 win at Brighton earlier this month.
“Everton can confirm the club has activated the option to extend Abdoulaye Doucoure’s contract until the end of June 2024,” read a club statement.
