Gueye signs new one-year Everton deal
Everton have come to terms on a new contract for Idrissa Gana Gueye.
Idrissa Gana Gueye has signed a new one-year contract with Everton.
The midfielder was set to become a free agent, but elected to sign fresh terms with the Toffees after being named their Player of the Season in 2024-25.
Gueye’s deal includes an option for a further year, and follows a season in which he racked up a combined 181 tackles and interceptions, the most in the Premier League.
The Senegal international first signed for Everton in 2016. He departed for Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 before returning for a second spell in 2022.
“Everyone knows what Everton means to me and my family. After six seasons here, this club is more than just a place I play, it’s part of who I am,” Gueye told the club’s official website.
“I’m proud to start my seventh year as a blue. Last season was a strong one for me personally, and I feel ready, fresh, and more driven than ever to keep pushing.
“With our beautiful new stadium and a real sense of momentum throughout the club, this season feels like a turning point, the chance to build something big and lasting.
“We’ve got the foundations. Now it’s up to us: players, staff, the manager, the board, and most importantly, our fans, to come together so we can raise the bar again and take Everton back to where it belongs. I’m fully committed to that challenge.”
