Everton have completed the signing of Idrissa Gueye from Paris Saint-Germain for an undisclosed fee.
The defensive midfielder has signed a two-year contract until the end of June 2024 with the Goodison Park club. The Senegal international returns to Merseyside after spending three years with the Blues from 2016 to 2019, making 108 appearances.
Gueye left Goodison Park for Paris Saint-Germain in July 2019 and, during his three years in the French capital, won two league titles, four domestic cups and finished runner-up to Bayern Munich in the 2020 Champions League final.
