According to a report from the Liverpool Echo, Everton are still undecided over Djibril Sidibe’s future at the club.

The Toffees signed the Frenchman on a season-long loan deal last summer and it is nearing the time where they have to make a decision about his future.

Everton have an option to sign Sidibe for just £12.7 million (Liverpool Echo) this summer which isn’t that big a fee these days.

Sidibe has played 24 times for Everton this season, 21 of those coming in the Premier League. The Frenchman’s attacking game has been impressive but his performances at the other end of the pitch have been worrying.

The 27-year-old was caught out of position on multiple occasions this season, which has caused Everton quite a few problems at the back.

With Jonjoe Kenny impressing heavily on loan at Schalke, Everton have to come to a decision quickly.

Some Toffees fans, however, seem to have made their mind up already and, if it was up to them, Sidibe will head back to Monaco this summer.
