da bet7k: According to Sky Sports, Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye has handed in a transfer request at Goodison Park following a £21.5 million offer for his services from Paris Saint-Germain.
What’s the story?
As per Sky Sports, the Toffees are adamant that the 29-year-old isn’t for sale, and are set to reject the offer from the reigning French champions. However, the same report states that Gueye has written to the Everton hierarchy pleading for them to allow him to move to the Parc des Princes in this January transfer window.
Everton must refuse the 62-Senegal international’s wishes though and insist that he remains on Merseyside, at least until the end of this season.

For the sake of their Premier League campaign, they cannot afford to lose the 29-year-old this month.
Time to dig in
Everton’s season has been disappointing so far as it is, as the club sit in mid-table but short of being prime contenders for Europa League qualification. What’s more, manager Marco Silva has come under pressure in recent weeks following a poor run of results.
One of the few bright sparks in the Toffees’ season so far has been the quality and consistency of Gueye. He has been handed a huge task as the only reliable ball-winning midfielder in Everton’s midfield contingent, and his side’s suffering cannot be blamed on him or his performances.
Considering they are struggling with Gueye in the side, their season could spiral into disastrous territory without him.
The Premier League club have every right to dig deep and resist PSG’s advances and Gueye’s wishes this month, and that is what they must do to save themselves from another dismal end to a campaign.
