It’s easy to forget that Djibril Sidibe signed for Everton this summer, and the Premier League club are seemingly keen to offload the defender too after just two months on Merseyside.
Everton aren’t convinced with what they’ve seen from Djibril Sidibé so far and could end his loan early. AC Milan are interested in acquiring his services should he leave Goodison Park. (Source: Tuttosport) #EFC pic.twitter.com/iyy4b45GoI

Tuttosport report via CalcioMercato that Sidibe has not done enough to impress Marco Silva and company at Everton and that his season-long loan deal could be cut short to allow the French international to move to AC Milan, who are reportedly interested in the 27-year-old Monaco fullback.
Sidibe has seen little first-team action since joining Everton in the summer transfer window, with stats from Transfermarkt showing that the defender has played just 31 minutes of Premier League football as well as start both League Cup fixtures.
And supporters on social media were not happy with the possibility of Sidibe’s loan deal being cut short due to a lack of impressing the coaching staff, with fans claiming that the French fullback has not been given enough chances to impress for the Toffees this season.
Here’s what some Everton fans had to say about the potential departure of Sidibe on Twitter…

Can we have a look at him before he goes

He’s great going forward but his defensive positioning has been meh. Don’t think he’s been poor enough to end the loan though. He’s barely gotten a chance.

Sidibe has also managed one assist for Everton this season as stats from Transfermarkt show.
