Idrissa Gueye has sent a promising signal to Everton fans as his Goodison Park return edges closer.
The 32-year-old is expected to be announced as a Toffees player soon. It remains to be seen whether the midfielder could be signed and registered in time to be available against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Frank Lampard and Kevin Thelwell have been working hard to secure a deal for another midfielder at the opposite end of his career, announcing on Tuesday that they had paid around £33million for 20-year-old Amadou Onana from Lille. But it was a certain Senegal veteran in the comments that caught the eye of Evertonians.
