# Everton: Blues make Idrissa Gueye move

**‘Everton have a made a move to re-sign’ Idrissa Gueye from Paris Saint-Germain but a deal is looking ‘unlikely’, according to The Athletic’s [Simon Johnson](https://twitter.com/SJohnsonSport/status/1488089206882635780).**

### The lowdown

Everton have [made three signings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/everton-fc/transfers/verein/29/plus/?saison_id=2021&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=w) so far in January, striking permanent deals for full-backs Vitaliy Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson and bringing in winger Anwar El-Ghazi on loan.

Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek is set to become their fourth winter coup, with the Dutchman [undergoing a medical](https://twitter.com/VinnOConnor/status/1488086852456353796) on Monday morning, but it seems the appointment of Frank Lampard as manager could yet be greeted with more than one addition.

Gueye spent three years (2016-2019) at Everton before a [£30m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49149867) switch to the Ligue 1 outfit.

### The latest

Johnson took to Twitter on Monday morning to reveal that Everton have launched a late offensive to try and bring the Senegal midfielder back to Goodison Park, although it remains up in the air whether or not their efforts will be successful.

He [tweeted](https://twitter.com/SJohnsonSport/status/1488089206882635780): “It’s true that Everton have made a move to re-sign their former midfielder Idrissa Gueye from PSG. But was told last night that it was unlikely to happen. Things can always change though on deadline day.”

### The verdict

Gueye appears to be an important part of PSG’s squad, so you can understand if they’re reluctant to let their [£11.7m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/idrissa-gueye/leistungsdaten/spieler/126665) asset leave. He has [started the majority](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/idrissa-gueye/leistungsdaten/spieler/126665) of their Ligue 1 matches so far this season, along with five of their six Champions League group games.

However, the 32-year-old has less than [18 months left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/idrissa-gueye/leistungsdaten/spieler/126665) on his [£99,000-per-week](https://salarysport.com/football/ligue-1/paris-saint-germain/) contract, and that may factor into the Parisians’ thinking.

It’s worth noting that Gueye is currently preparing for an Africa Cup of Nations semi-final with Senegal, and that could make a deadline day move more difficult, despite Everton’s best efforts for a last-gasp coup.
