Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure extends contract

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has seen his contract extended by 12 months.

Doucoure's deal was due to expire this summer, but Everton have triggered the option of a further year.

The midfielder, 30, has made 94 appearances for Everton and scored nine goals since joining from Watford for £20m in 2020.

Mali international Doucoure is fully fit and has played a key role in Everton's late season survival battle.

Going into the final round, Everton are two points above the relegation zone and host Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
