Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure said that his position is known to the club regarding his future.

The central midfielder has enjoyed a positive few weeks under boss Sean Dyche.

Doucoure was at his very best in a thumping 5-1 win over Brighton earlier in the week.

Post-game, Doucoure said of contract talks: “The club knows my position. Since even a year ago.

“Now, obviously, it becomes very difficult for us to find something well between us, to find an agreement.

“I am doing my job at the moment and we are going to see at the end of the season. But I am focused on keeping Everton up."
