Everton supporters have aired their admiration for the on-loan right-back, Djibril Sidibe.
On Monday, the Toffees’ official Twitter account posted an interview with the Frenchman in which he discussed how he is finding life in Merseyside (as per Everton).
With supporters beginning to see more of the 27-year-old, as he has nailed down a starting spot in recent months (per Transfermarkt), supporters waxed lyrical over Sidibe.
What a fella, gave me his shirt after the Tottenham game

The right-back, whose parent club is AS Monaco in France, has started the previous four Premier League games under Marco Silva, having not featured for a minute in the first seven (via Transfermarkt).
There is a clause in the loan for the £10.8-million rated full-back in which the Toffees can purchase Sidibe, should they wish, however, the actual fee is unknown (per BBC).
With Sidibe becoming a reliable performer in Everton’s starting lineup, Toffees fans made a few demands of Silva over the Frenchman.
I’d start him every game he’s fit.

Sign him on a permanent basis. Been solid in defence lately

What do we think?
Sidibe has a solid average rating of 6.74/10 so far this season for the Goodison Park club, having featured in seven league and cup games (via Whoscored).
That ranks the 27-year-old higher than Seamus Coleman, who has a 6.65/10 in an Everton shirt this term (per Whoscored), and should Sidibe continue his current form – the Toffees should look at realising the option to purchase.
