Sidibe Joins Everton On Loan From Monaco

Everton have signed France World Cup winner Djibril Sidibe on loan from Monaco for the season, with an option to buy the right-back at the end of the campaign.

Sidibe played a key role in Monaco’s Ligue 1 triumph in 2016/17 after joining from Lille and scored six goals in 114 games in all competitions for the principality.

Sidibe becomes Marco Silva’s sixth signing of the summer, with goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, midfielders Andre Gomes, Fabian Delph and Jean-Philippe Gbamin; and striker Moise Kean having already arrived at Goodison Park.

He came through the age groups with France before making his senior debut against Italy in September 2016.

Sidibe has gone on to win 18 France caps, with his one international goal coming in a 3-2 friendly win over England in June 2017.
