Abdoulaye Doucoure has been a player Everton fans will remember for digging them out of the trenches, an all-action midfielder with a fire in his belly.
The Malian is now 32 and out of contract on Merseyside at the end of this season, but reminded the Toffees of his continued importance by netting the last-gasp winner away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday (12 April).Doucoure is one of several with contracts expiring this summer, as The Friedkin Group, David Moyes and the players themselves have some key decisions to make.
Doucoure sent the Everton supporters into utter elation when he netted inside the 94th minute at the City Ground at the weekend.
There have seldom been many moments to top it, though nothing is ever beating his intervention on the final day of the 2022-23 season when his strike against Bournemouth at Goodison Park kept the Toffees in the Premier League.
Doucoure ‘gave signal’ to Everton after moment v Nottingham Forest
Doucoure sent the Everton supporters into utter elation when he netted inside the 94th minute at the City Ground at the weekend.
There have seldom been many moments to top it, though nothing is ever beating his intervention on the final day of the 2022-23 season when his strike against Bournemouth at Goodison Park kept the Toffees in the Premier League.
Alongside the likes of Idrissa Gueye, Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Doucoure is set to leave on a free transfer this summer as things stand.
He celebrated his decisive strike at Forest with a ‘writing’ celebration designed to look like a contract extension signal – confirming after the game he wants to stay.
