French defender Djibril Sidibe is open to the prospect of signing a permanent contract with Everton at the end of the campaign. The right-back joined the Toffees on a season-long loan from AS Monaco over the summer and over the past month, he has been able to cement a regular role ahead of Seamus Coleman.
