On December 21st, we carried a report from French newspaper L’Equipe, who claimed Idrissa Gueye of Everton has been ‘targeted’ by Paris Saint-Germain in the winter market.
Thomas Tuchel wants the Ligue 1 winners to strengthen midfield in January and after reportedly blocking contract rebel Adrien Rabiot from entering the dressing room, they will have to bring in a new player in that position.
In today’s edition of Sport, the Catalan newspaper looks at various options and the Merseyside club’s player is mentioned as a potential target for the Ligue 1 winners.
The Senegalese international spent seven years in France, which includes five seasons with Lille, meaning he knows the league very well.
For the Toffees, Marco Silva has used him in a double pivot, either alongside Andre Gomes or Morgan Schneiderlin.
It’s mentioned that Gueye ‘stands out’ for his power and ability to recover the ball from the opposition. The value is put at €20m, which sounds way lower than Everton would accept.
Such an amount would be laughed away from Goodison Park.
