Everton fans saying the same thing after Abdoulaye Doucoure transfer agreement

Everton are close to completing a deal to sign Abdoulaye Doucoure from Watford and it has led to reaction aplenty from fans.

Carlo Ancelotti is eager to add quality to his squad ahead of the 2020/21 season and he could have struck gold with the midfielder.

The 27-year-old has impressed at Watford during the last four years and particularly during the Hornets' stay in the Premier League.

It's in the top tier when Doucoure started catching the eye of clubs across Europe but Everton have been the ones to come to terms on a transfer fee, with the playmaker set to follow Napoli's Allan to Goodison Park.

It's safe to say fans are delighted with the news and here is the best of the reaction below.

The fee for Doucoure is in the region of £20 million, the Echo understands.

A move for the Frenchman was only decided after Everton failed to land Southampton captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Hojbjerg decided to join Tottenham over a move to Merseyside.
