Idrissa Gueye was an outstanding midfield player for Everton
Gueye, 31 years of age already, enjoyed four seasons in the English Premier League – once with Aston Villa and three with the Toffees thereafter.
His showings for the Merseysiders was the reason the Ligue 1 champions snapped him up from Everton back in 2019. But game time has been hard to come by and will be even harder to earn under Poch.
The beautiful thing about the defensive-minded player is that he is able to stay fit for majority of the season – finishing a total of 30 plus games per season. It was only in Paris, due to lack of selection, is where he couldn’t collect more than 20 appearances.
It would be difficult for him to stay fit at 31 but it is not impossible, seeing that he has such a great track record. Adding to his physicality greatness he also chips in with a goal here and there. A midfielder that scores can fit into any teams.
