Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye is close to signing a new deal at the club, with his current contract expiring this summer, according to a report from Foot Mercato.
The Senegal international was set to be leaving Everton this summer, with his contract coming to an end. The 35-year-old midfielder has been a crucial player for many years now, returning to the club from Paris Saint-Germain and continuing to make the same impact he did in his first spell.
Everton are already set for an incredibly busy summer, with a host of players out of contract. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Michael Keane's futures are yet to be confirmed with their deals expiring, while the likes of Ashley Young, Joao Virginia, and Asmir Begovic have all left the club.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Everton and Gueye are close to reaching an agreement over an extension for the experienced midfielder. Gueye is a high-earner for the Toffees, taking home £130,000-a-week, so the Merseyside club needed to weigh up whether a new deal made financial sense.
