'READY TO GO'

Everton star Idrissa Gueye determined to secure £25m PSG transfer this summer

Senegal star refuses to give up on dream move and declares he is 'ready to go to the final level to join a top European club'

EVERTON midfielder Idrissa Gueye will push for a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

The French giants had a £25million bid turned down in January but are expected to return for the Senegal international, 29, at the end of the season.

He said: "It is a dream that sadly did not come true.

"Every player works to join the best teams, to play in matches in the Champions League.

"But I was honoured that PSG were interested in me.

"Now, I know that I am of interest to these types of clubs, I am ready to go to the final level to join a top European club.

"I am going to work even more so that they come back to me.

"Maybe it is not finished with PSG."

SunSport revealed last month that Gueye was on a PSG shortlist of midfielders as an alternative to Frenkie De Jong, who will join Barcelona.

Southampton’s Mario Lemina and Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure are among the players they like in the Premier League.

But they made a firm offer for Gueye in January, only for Everton to reject the chance to cash in.

They will make a big profit on the £7.1million they paid Aston Villa two-and-a-half years ago, although he also has three full seasons left on his current contract meaning his value will hold.

But the lure of PSG  - and returning to France - could tempt Gueye after starting his senior career with Lille before getting his move to Villa.
