Abdoulaye Doucoure will leave Everton when his current contract expires at the end of next month.
The midfielder, who will forever go down in Blues folklore for his crucial winner against Bournemouth at Goodison in May 2023 to preserve the Club’s proud top-flight status, will move on following nearly five years on Merseyside.
Ahead of this Sunday’s season finale at Newcastle United, Doucoure has made 165 appearances for the Toffees, scoring 21 goals, following his arrival from Watford in September 2020.
That included one of the most important strikes in the Club’s recent history when the Mali international hit the second-half goal against the Cherries to keep Everton in the Premier League.
The 32-year-old was offered a new contract by the Club but he has decided to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Manager David Moyes said: “Doucs has been an influential player throughout his time at the Club, including since I returned as manager, and Evertonians will always be grateful for his dedication and crucial goals.
“Everyone at Everton thanks Doucs for his service and wishes him all the best for the future.”
