Abdoulaye Doucoure is set to sign a new contract at Everton in the very near future, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer journalist has reported on Thursday 26 October that a new deal is now in the final stages and an agreement is on the verge.
Doucoure is set to sign on for another two years at Goodison Park, with an option to take it to 2026 also included on top of that for the playmaker.

He wrote on Twitter: “Abdoulaye Doucouré, set to sign new deal at Everton very soon.
“Understand agreement’s on the verge of being sealed over new contract until June 2025. Option until June 2026 will be included.
“Deal at final stages, set to be completed.”
Brilliant.
This is excellent news for the club, and no one will be more delighted than Sean Dyche himself.
Doucoure has been at the heart of his plans since arriving, with that advanced midfield role becoming his own and helping him flourish massively on Merseyside.
No one has scored more important goals under Dyche than Doucoure, with the strike against Bournemouth on the final day of last season springing to mind instantly.
These are the types of players that Everton need to be building around, not those who come with the fancy name and skills, with Doucoure showing the way forward.
In a busy summer where the likes of Alex Iwobi packed their bags and moved on, Doucoure stayed and nailed down his spot even further to secure his place at the top of the pile.
Hopefully, this contract is signed off very soon and is announced so we can celebrate but then move on with some very important Premier League games which Doucoure will no doubt play a big part in.
