Everton boss Marco Silva has told the Daily Express that there is no update with Idrissa Gueye.

Gueye has been heavily linked with PSG in recent times, with Sky Sports suggesting that he had handed in a transfer request at Everton.

Suspicions where raised further when Gueye was left out of Everton’s match day squad to face Huddersfield Town last night.

However, Silva insists that the midfielder was only not selected as he has an injury.

He said: “After the match I tried to find out if something new has happened because I expected your question and there’s nothing new.

“He has a minor problem with his groin. No new offers and hopefully he can continue with us. I don’t know about a new offer or not. Nobody has told me. We were in the hotel last night preparing for the game, fully focused on the match.

“I know the market is open until January 31, it’s always tough for us, but about the new offer, £30million, nothing came true. I asked 10 minutes ago if there was something new, but there is not.”

Everton have always insisted that Gueye will stay with them, with Silva regarding him an important part of their side.

The Senegalese midfielder has been in impressive form this season, but interest in him is rising.

Even without Gueye Everton were able to pick up a victory against Huddersfield Town last night.

The Toffees are now in eighth place in the Premier League table after picking up a much needed three points.
