Abdoulaye Doucoure has left a gaping hole for David Moyes to fill at Everton after confirming his exit from Goodison Park.
The 32-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of June, and he won’t be extending his stay with the Toffees.
Doucoure won’t move to Bramley-Moore Dock with the Blues for the start of next season as they hope to start a new era under The Friedkin Group (TFG).
The Mali international is attracting interest from Al-Ettifaq, and the Merseyside outfit already have his successor on their radar.

Carlos Alcaraz’s loan from Flamengo has been made permanent, but the Blues arguably need to bolster their engine room further.
James Garner and Idrissa Gueye have formed an impressive partnership in the middle of the park, but the Merseysiders could undoubtedly do with more depth.

Vitalii Mykolenko could potentially convince his Ukrainian compatriot to make a switch from Brentford to the Toffees.
