Al-Ettifaq coach Steven Gerrard sees Doucoure as a replacement for Jordan Henderson, who left for Ajax last week, says the Daily Mail.

Doucoure has revived his Everton career under manager Sean Dyche after being frozen out by former boss Frank Lampard.

Dyche regards the 31-year-old as a key member of his team, but Everton could sell at the right price.

The Blues face needing to make sales to ease Financial Fair Play pressure.
