Everton manager Marco Silva has told The Liverpool Echo that he will not sell Idrissa Gueye in the January transfer window.

According to The Liverpool Echo, French and European giants Paris Saint-Germain are interested in securing the services of the 29-year-old defensive midfielder this month.

Silva told The Liverpool Echo about Gueye: “If you ask me if the club are interested in selling one of the most important players, I will say no.

“The feedback I have from the board….ok, we don’t attack the market because we don’t have the financial conditions to do that, so it doesn’t make sense for us to be selling our best players.”

Staying at Everton

Gueye has been on the books of Everton since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Aston Villa for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £7.1 million.

The former Lille star has established himself as an important player for the Toffees and is one of the best players in his position in the Premier League.

With the Toffees aiming to finish seventh in the Premier League table this season, the Merseyside outfit should not sell the Senegal international.

After all, it is going to be hard for Everton to replace a player of Gueye’s importance and quality in the middle of the season.

Everton will take on Southampton away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
