It’s often said that you should never go back in football but Everton are being linked with a transfer deadline day swoop for their former player Idrissa Gueye.
On announcing that Frank Lampard had agreed a two-and-a-half year contract with Everton after completing negotiations on Sunday, the Mirror’s Northern Football Correspondent David Maddock said that the new Blues boss was on his way to Merseyside to take training at Finch Farm today and wanted a midfielder and a defender with Donny van de Beek, Dele Alli and Gueye all considered.
A £7.1million snip from relegated Aston Villa in 2016 when Everton paid his release clause, Gueye was one of the few unqualified successes of the club’s first director of football Steve Walsh’s tenure.
