Abdoulaye Doucoure says he wants to repay the trust given to him by Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti after giving him his debut in the Toffees 1-0 season-opening win at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 27-year-old Franco-Malian is a new signing at Goodison Park having sealed a £20 million move from last season’s relegated side Watford last Tuesday and the Merseysiders got their campaign off to a fine start thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 55th-minute header.
Doucoure asserts he had little time to settle at the club but was in top shape to play the game.
