Everton want to extend Sidibé loan deal

UPDATED A report in The Guardian claims that Everton want to extend Djibril Sidibé's loan deal through the restarted Premier League season.

Agreement will have to be reached with his parent club, AC Manaco, who have no need of him as their Ligue 1 season has been terminated. They would need to agree terms on extending the current loan arrangement through the end of July.

The 27-year-old Frenchman joined Everton on a season-long loan back in August 2019 and has played 24 times in League and Cup competitions without making much of a lasting impression.

However, with injuries and a general lack of quality in the squad, Ancelotti has little alternative but to stick with what he has available to get through the last 9 games of this blighted Premier League season.

Everton had negotiated a clause to buy the World Cup winning full-back for around £12.8m, when securing his loan last summer, but the club have allowed that option to lapse. They had until June 1 but have apparently decided not to sign Sidibé permanently.
