Djibril Sidibe has dropped the biggest hint yet that he wants to turn his Everton loan into a permanent move.
In an interview with French television channel RMC, the 27-year-old has been quoted as saying "everything is green lit" from his point of view.
Sidibe must now wait to see if Everton choose to trigger the option to buy him from AS Monaco with the agreed fee believed to be in the region of £12.7m.
The France international says Carlo Ancelotti has "faith in me" and that he knows the "coach's position".
“I have had a discussion with the Monaco board, they know my position, I know theirs," he is quoted as telling RMC .
"My aim is to play matches at a high intensity, which is what I have discovered in the Premier League.
"Concerning Everton, I have my position, I also know the coach’s position (Carlo Ancelotti). I can’t say, but on my side everything is green lit.
"The coach likes me, he has faith in me. Then there are things that will count that I do not have control over, Monaco’s position, Everton’s position.
"My aim is to play the maximum number of games until the end of the season, EURO 2020 is coming. (Everton) really want to invest to reach the European places and that is something that is well on its way and that interests me, it is what I want, we will see what the future has in store.”
