He was posting better numbers than Kante when at Everton, just never appreciated because he didn’t play for a top 4 club. We’ve missed him so much

Gueye departed Goodison Park for the Parc des Princes over the summer, in a deal which was around the £30 million-mark, on a four-year contract (as per BBC).
During his time with Everton, the Senegal international featured 108 times in which he clearly captured the admiration of Everton fans – and some were keen on him returning to Merseyside.
He’s certainly the most underTted by country miles

What do we think?
The stats that Gueye’s team has while he has been playing for PSG this season are nothing short of incredible.
To add further acclaim to his performances, his average rating for the season so far is also excellent, with an impressive 7.4/10 average rating in Ligue 1 (as per WhoScored).
