The agent of Djibril Sidibe is happy seeing him now getting his chance at Everton.

Speaking to L'Equipe, agent Seran Diabate has praised his cilent and played down previous fears about his fitness.

He said of the on-loan Monaco fullback: "Djibril has taken his trouble with patience, with the objective of showing his qualities when we would appeal to him. Everton absolutely wanted him, with the idea of preparing for the next generation in the position since Coleman is 31 years old.

"After, when you arrive on loan, you do not have the same status as when you were bought €25m, the sum that Atlético de Madrid proposed in 2018 to Monaco.

"And even, look at Moise Kean, bought by Everton for €40m last summer! He does not have many opportunities either.

"Players who go to the Premier League know that in England it sometimes takes a little more time than elsewhere before you get a chance. He has no more physical worries. When he replayed recently, he went on long runs, tackled, centred.

"The second part of last season in Monaco allowed him to recover even if his performances were not at the top, like those of the team, which ended up escaping relegation.

"After, he wanted to change the air. We will take stock at the end of the season. He knows it's not going to be easy, but he's here to fight, as he always has."
