Djibril Sidibe drops hint on Everton permanent transfer

Everton defender Djibril Sidibe has told RMC Sport that he has held talks with AS Monaco, and that “all the lights are green” over a permanent switch to the Merseyside club in the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old joined Everton in the summer on a loan-to-buy deal from Monaco. He has made 24 appearances for The Toffees in all competitions and registered five assists for the Toffees.

Last month, Greg O’Keefe of The Athletic claimed that Everton have a dilemma about whether to sign him permanently at the end of the season.

Sidibe has done well at times, but his recent performances have come under criticism from the fans.
