Abdoulaye Doucouré

Abdoulaye Doucouré (born 1 January 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as central midfielder for Premier League club Everton.

[12] In Watford's 6-0 defeat in the 2019 FA Cup Final, Doucouré was shown a yellow card after protesting a referee's penalty decision.

[13] On 8 September 2020, Premier League club Everton announced that they had signed Doucouré from Watford for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £20m.

[19] On 4 April 2023, Doucouré received a straight red card during Everton's 1–1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur for violent conduct after hitting Harry Kane in the face.

[21] Five days later, on the final matchday of the 2022–23 season, Doucouré scored one of the most consequential goals in the club's history to secure a 1–0 win over Bournemouth.

Had Everton only drawn, they would have been overtaken by Leicester City on goal difference and been relegated to the second tier of English football for the first time since the 1950–51 season.

[27] In February 2022, Mali FA President Baviuex Touré told the media that he was in negotiation with Doucouré, hoping that he would switch his international allegiance from France in time to feature in their World Cup play-offs in March.
