Fans of Everton have aired that they want to see Djibril Sidibe signed by the club following a Twitter post from the club’s official account.
On Monday, the Toffees posted about the Frenchman and stated that he is ‘battling for the badge’ (as per Everton), which gave fans the opportunity to air their feelings.

One fan even mentioned how cheap he is for the Toffees, which relates to the reported £13 million buy-out clause.
We need to buy him, especially considering how cheap he is for us

Do you believe that the Toffees will, eventually, activate the option to buy in Djibril Sidibe's loan?Yes, they're not stupidNo, we will let him go |
Since his arrival on loan from Monaco in the summer, a deal which sees the Merseyside club have an option to purchase the full-back (per BBC), Sidibe has made 20 appearances in all competitions, in which he has zero goals and five assists (as per Transfermarkt).
Across his appearances in Everton blue, the defender has an average rating of 7.12/10 (per WhoScored), leaving many fans keen for him to stay at Goodison Park.
Sign him!

Overall been impressive. All about the fee really. Starting to recapture his best form from a few years back

What do we think?
With the deal already in place for the Toffees to sign the full-back should they wish (per BBC), Everton fans are incredibly clear in their feelings on the matter.
As his 7.12/10 average rating would suggest (as per WhoScored), Sidibe has been having a strong season for the Toffees and could prove to be a valuable asset.
