French champions Paris Saint-Germain have resumed their interest in Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye, according to French outlet Le 10 Sport.

They report that the Parisiens were keen on Gueye in January and despite having signed Leandro Parades then and edging closer to the free transfer of Ander Herrera, they still want him.

The report states that Gueye still wants to go to Paris but may be forced to endure a long transfer saga as the wheels behind the scenes at PSG get turning.

There is a named asking price in the piece of between 30 and 35 million euros (£26.6 – £31m) from Goodison Park, as it is suggested they are open to a sale.

Gueye is an important player for Everton as their most energetic and experienced holding midfielder, but his advancing years may make a sale attractive.

But the fact that the report says PSG are slow behind the scenes to get their transfer business in order may be a worry.

If Everton are to sell £70,000-a-week (Spotrac) Gueye, they’d likely prefer it gets done quickly so the can reinvest the money in a replacement and get them settled in during pre-season.

But replacing Gueye is no easy task – there aren’t many players in the top flight who can match his energy from deep midfield.
