# Quiz: How well do you know Abdoulaye Doucoure’s pre-Everton career?

Everton midfielder [Abdoulaye Doucoure](https://readeverton.com/2020/12/23/abdoulaye-doucoure-everton-targeting-trophy-win/) made the switch from relegated side Watford to Goodison Park over the summer – although he has been a Toffees target for some time before then.

Watford [reportedly rejected a £30m offer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54068529) in the summer of 2019 for the defensive midfielder before the context of relegation transformed the prospects of the 27-year-old remaining at Vicarage Road.

Consequently, Doucoure swapped Hertfordshire for Merseyside as he linked up as part of a wider rebuild of Carlo Ancelotti’s midfield for the [handsome sum of £20m.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54068529)

The Frenchman was the [third signing in just four days](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54068529) for the Toffees as they bolstered their options in one fell swoop. [Allan](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54040760) and [James Rodriguez](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53992937) were recent arrivals immediately before Doucoure made the switch of his own.

His career has been long and varied, whilst he offers a [wealth of Premier League experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdoulaye-doucoure/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/127187/wettbewerb/GB1). In a further boost to the Toffees, the 27-year-old has shown a relative loyalty for his previous clubs, spending the best part of four years at [both Rennes and Watford](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdoulaye-doucoure/transfers/spieler/127187).

To that end, we have put together a quiz on Doucoure’s career prior to signing for the Toffees, so see how many you can get right about the French midfielder!
