Everton confirm re-signing Idrissa Gana Gueye from PSG

Everton have confirmed that they have re-signed Idrissa Gana Gueye from Paris Saint-Germain. The 32-year-old has reportedly penned a two-year deal at Goodison Park. 

The Senegal international first joined the Toffees in 2016 from Aston Villa and made 108 appearances across all competitions, with four goals to his name. He was a fan favourite at the Merseyside club and was regularly featured in the team. 

The midfielder joined PSG in 2019 in a deal worth around £29 million. However, after winning two Ligue 1 titles at Parc des Princes, he has now returned to the Blues in a £8 million deal (as per Sky Sports). 

It was previously reported that Frank Lampard’s side had hit an impasse in negotiations but they have now managed to get a deal over the line for the former Lille star. 

Gueye will be Everton’s seventh signing of the summer following the arrivals of James Tarkowski, Conor Coady, Ruben Vinagre, Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil and Neal Maupay. 

The Toffees are also reportedly very close to signing Manchester United ace James Garner. 

Gueye was deemed surplus to requirements at the Parc des Princes after the Parisians signed Renato Sanches, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz in this transfer window. 

He is highly rated for his tackling and passing as well as interception and pressing skills.  

However, fans shouldn’t expect a lot from the Senegalese footballer as he is 32-years-old now. His best years will always be behind him.
