Idrissa Gueye now training alone, wants to seal major Everton transfer
Everton and Idrissa Gueye are now both keen on a major transfer as talks continue with Paris Saint-Germain over a move, according to Chris Smith and Graeme Bailey.
The 90min journalists have reported that the Senegal enforcer is now training alone in France and is ready to make the move happen this summer.
Frank Lampard is also keen on the switch, with the holding midfielder being made available for transfer alongside Georginio Wijnaldum and Julian Draxler.
Writing in their latest transfer notebook for 90min, Smith and Bailey shared the latest on the Paris-Saint Germain ace sealing a reunion with his former club.
“Ross Barkley may not be the only midfielder returning to Everton, with the Toffees understood to be in talks with PSG over re-signing Idrissa Gana Gueye,” he wrote.
“The 32-year-old left Merseyside for PSG in 2019 and has played 111 times for the French champions since. However, 90min understands Gueye has been made available for transfer by PSG alongside fellow midfielders Georginio Wijnaldum and Julian Draxler.
“Gueye has been training alone recently, with the player and Everton both keen to reunite.”
Back in Blue.
This will be a brilliant sight to see.
If this can get done on the cheap with little financial risk attached, Gueye could be the answer to our midfield woes over recent seasons under numerous managers.
Lampard knows the club are crying out for a new holding midfield option, with Allan simply not up to the task of being that main defensive pivot of the three.
With Gueye behind him, the Brazilian alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure could certainly flourish and produce a new fantastic trio for the Toffees.
One issue is his lack of playing time and the time that has past since he was last at Goodison Park, with the same player likely not coming back in terms of physical attributes.
He will return as a winner though, having picked up consistent silverware in Paris and that attitude will serve everyone well, not only on the pitch, but in the dressing room too.
