According to Bleacher Report, Idrissa Gueye wants to leave Everton in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Gueye’s representatives are confident that the 29-year-old defensive midfielder will be playing for a club in the Champions League next season.

“Gueye has no problem with Everton, but he is believed to have a determination to test himself at the highest level and hopes the club will allow him to move on this time,” adds the report in Bleacher Report.

Manchester United speculation

According to a recent report in The London Evening Standard, Manchester United are interested in signing Gueye from Premier League rivals Everton in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that the Toffees could sell the Senegal international for less than 29-year-old.

Leaving 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 defensive midfielder has done well during his time at Goodison Park, and it does seem likely that he will leave the Toffees for a bigger club at the end of the season.

According to WhoScored, Gueye has made 27 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Everton so far this season, providing one assist in the process.
