Maupay, 28, became one of the great villains of the division last season as he wound up stars such as James Maddison and Scott McTominay.
The Frenchman spent the campaign on loan at former club Brentford from Everton.
He has since returned to the Toffees but was only named among the substitutes during the opening-day defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.
Even with the team falling 3-0 down, manager Sean Dyche instead turned to Beto and Iliman Ndiaye to try to turn the game around.

French outlet has now claimed that Maupay could bring an end to his time in English football.
The report claims that Ligue 1 giants Marseille are pursuing the striker before the transfer window shuts.
Roberto de Zerbi's side are keen to reinforce their attacking options after the injury to Faris Moumbagna.
It is suggested that the club would prefer a loan move for Maupay and that he would be keen on the switch.
