Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye remains eager to move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Gueye's proposed switch to the French champions was blocked last January with Everton valuing the Senegal international at £30 million. Gueye was commended by manager Marco Silva for overcoming the disappointment of having his ambitions of a transfer thwarted, finishing the season in good form.

But the 29-year-old is hopeful PSG will return with an acceptable bid over the next few weeks and that his club will be more prepared to negotiate now they have recruited Fabian Delph.

Gueye is currently on African Cup of Nations duty, excelling for his country in their bid to lift the title. He is not due back to train until at least three weeks after this weekend’s final.

Another player who could be leaving Goodison is Ademola Lookman, with RB Leipzig reviving their interest in the young striker.

As with Gueye, Everton stood firm in the face of unacceptable bids from the Bundesliga side a year ago. Now negotiations are continuing and it seems Lookman is more likely to be sold, although suggestions a £22.5 million deal was struck on Tuesday are – according to Goodison sources – premature.
