During this season, the Ivory Coast international has featured in 25 games in all competitions for Toulouse, during which he has scored zero goals and assisted once (per Transfermarkt).
With 24 of those 25 domestic appearances coming in the Ligue 1 this term, Sangare has a decent average rating of 6.77/10 in the league (per WhoScored), so, supporters continued to air their desire for the 22-year-old to be signed.

What do we think?
As one supporter mentioned, Sangare will only have one season remaining on his contract in the summer and with a market value of £12.6 million (per Transfermarkt), he could be available at a decent price.
One thing seems for certain, though, judging from the responses of supporters, the Goodison Park faithful would be delighted to see the young defensive midfielder arrive from the French Ligue 1.
