# Everton: Fans discuss update about Lucas Digne

**Many Everton fans have been discussing an update about Lucas Digne that recently emerged on social media.**

The Times’ correspondent Paul Joyce [has recently reported](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1340991069555728384) that the Toffees are now preparing to offer the left-back a new contract. An article written by the journalist has claimed that this is an attempt from Everton to ward off potential suitors for the Frenchman amidst reports linking him with a move. The defender is expected to get improved terms in the new deal and Everton are hoping he will sign the deal after he was linked with a move to Manchester City ([as per the Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/everton-look-to-ward-off-manchester-city-with-a-new-contract-for-lucas-digne-pzr976vkv)).

Digne is currently out injured and could be out well into the New Year too, but Carlo Ancelotti has already revealed that his rehab is going very well indeed [(as per the Times)](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/everton-look-to-ward-off-manchester-city-with-a-new-contract-for-lucas-digne-pzr976vkv). Digne is currently valued at [£29.70m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lucas-digne/marktwertverlauf/spieler/126664).

Digne[arrived at Goodison Park from Barcelona](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45024174) in the summer of 2018 for a fee of £18 million. Since arriving at the club, he has made 87 appearances in all competitions for the Toffees while picking up 17 assists and a total of five goals ([as per Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lucas-digne/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/126664/verein/29).
