da cassino online： According to a recent report from The Daily Mirror, Everton are interested in a move for midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure. The Frenchman currently plays his football at fellow Premier League outfit Watford and has done so since leaving Rennes in 2016, with his masterful efforts in the heart of the Hornets midfield attracting interest around the English top-flight.
da betcris： And Marco Silva’s Everton are the latest side to reportedly seek to sign the £13.5 million-rated star (as per Transfermarkt), and while a deal for the 25-year-old would likely delight many Evertonians, it could spell seriously bad news for current Toffees star Tom Davies.
The Breakdown
Ultimately, Watford’s Doucoure has proven to be one of the most effective central midfielders in the Premier League in the last two seasons, with the 25-year-old combining brilliance on the ball with tenacity off it to prove himself as a seriously good top-flight midfielder.
And with four assists already this time round for Javi Gracia’s men, adding to the seven goals and four assists he contributed last term, Doucoure is continuing to prove his worth and deliver the goods for the Hertfordshire-based outfit – it’s no surprise that Everton are reportedly keen on his services.
And that’s because there does appear to be something of an issue in the centre midfield ranks at Goodison Park, as although Andre Gomes appears to have made that spot his own alongside Idrissa Gueye, the other options at Silva’s disposal haven’t been inspiring confidence.
And one of those is 20-year-old Davies, who has come up through the youth ranks at Goodison Park and already has 78 first team appearances to his name, with some mightily impressive displays sandwiched among them to suggest that he is the future of the Merseyside club.
However, while he appeared 43 times in all competitions last season, he has seriously struggled for game time under Silva this time round with just six Premier League appearances to his name, none of which have come in their last five league matches.
Yes, he was indeed made captain by Silva for matches against Arsenal, Fulham, and Leicester City, but he has on the whole failed to prove his worth in that central midfield position – Gomes and Gueye look an infinitely better partnership.
Thus, Davies appears to be out of the first team picture even now let alone were Doucoure to make the move to Goodison Park – and while Gomes’ deal is only temporary until the end of the season, it’s still difficult to see Davies usurping the Watford man in the pecking order.
As such, while Everton fans will surely be thrilled were their side to land Doucoure, it could spell seriously bad news for current Toffees ace Davies and his future prospects at Goodison Park.
