have announced the signing of midfielder Idrissa Gueye from Aston Villa on a
long term deal, according to SkySports.

signing of center-back Idrissa Gueye on a four year deal.

moved to Aston Villa last summer from Lille £9million and made 37 appearances
in all campaigns but failed to help his side to survive in the Premier League.
Everton
new manager Ronald Koeman has made him the second signing of the summer, first

happy to be a part of big team with big players.
