Football news - PSG 'agree £28m fee for Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye'
Updated 24/07/2019 at 14:29 GMT
Paris Saint-Germain have agreed a £28million fee with Everton for the signing of Idrissa Gueye, according to Sky Sports.
The Senegal midfielder is expected to complete his move to the Ligue 1 champions this week, ending his three-year stay at Goodison Park.
Everton signed Gueye for £7.1m from Aston Villa - the player's buyout clause after the Midlands club were relegated from the Premier League - in August 2016.
The 29-year-old has made 108 appearances for Everton over his three seasons at the club, but he signalled his desire to leave in January.
Despite handing in a transfer request, Everton rejected PSG's initial offer of £21.5m - but they have reportedly now bowed to his wishes.
Everton have made three signings this summer, with Fabian Delph joining Jonas Lossl and Andre Gomes on a permanent deal.
Blues boss Marco Silva has insisted that Delph is not a replacement for Gueye, and the sale of the Senegalese midfielder could pave the way for more incomings at Goodison.
Everton are in talks with Crystal Palace's £80m-rated winger Wilfried Zaha, despite the player's preference of joining Arsenal, while Kurt Zouma is still wanted back at the club following a successful loan despite Chelsea currently holding firm.
