Idrissa Gueye failed to joined Paris Saint-Germain in the last winter market, but the midfielder got his wish fulfilled when Everton allowed him to sign for the Ligue 1 winners in July.
The Senegal international has been a regular inclusion in his side’s starting XI when fit, making 15 starts in all competitions. He is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Even though the 30-year-old has not completed his first six months at Parc des Princes, he’s drawing attention from Chelsea, according to Le10 Sport.
The Blues are allowed to make new additions to their squad in January after their transfer ban was lifted.
It’s claimed the Europa League winners liked Julian Draxler’s profile and now they have set their sights on his club teammate.
‘The interest’ in Gueye from Frank Lampard’s side ‘is there’, but a move in mid-season window is unlikely. With the former Everton man being a key player, the report adds there’s a little hope for a transfer in January.
Therefore, Chelsea will have to look elsewhere if they need to strengthen their midfield in the winter window.
