Everton midfielder Doucoure: Everyone must do better here

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure wants a lot more from everyone at the club next season.

Doucoure, whose final day goal kept Everton in the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Bournemouth, does not want a repeat again.

He is hoping that by improving their squad and each player giving more, Everton can be comfortably mid-table in 2023/2024.

Doucoure told evertonfc.com: “Obviously, I love to score goals and this one was maybe the best and most important of my career, so I'm very happy. I'm delighted for my teammates and for the club, but we must now look forward.

“We've been in this position for two seasons now, so we can't go back to this every year. We are going to reflect on what happened and the mistakes we made. For each player, I don't think the season was good enough.

“When you play for Everton, you need to be much better than that. I don't think Bournemouth was our best game, me included, but you have to believe. When you represent Everton, you have to always give your best."
