Senegal midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye has signed a new contract extension with Everton, Afrosport reports.
Gueye has penned a one-year contract to remain with the Toffees until June 30, 2026, with the deal including an option for a further year.
The 35-year-old, in his second spell at Everton, won the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season award last term.
He joined Everton in 2016 from Aston Villa on a four-year deal but secured a move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. He, however, returned to the club in 2022, signing a two-year contract.
“Everyone knows what Everton means to me and my family,” he told the club website. “After six seasons here, this club is more than just a place I play, it’s part of who I am.
“I’m proud to start my seventh year as a Blue. Last season was a strong one for me personally, and I feel ready, fresh, and more driven than ever to keep pushing.
“With our beautiful new stadium and a real sense of momentum throughout the Club, this season feels like a turning point, the chance to build something big and lasting.
“We’ve got the foundations. Now it’s up to us: players, staff, the manager, the board, and most importantly, our fans, to come together so we can raise the bar again and take Everton back to where it belongs.
“I’m fully committed to that challenge. Let’s go again. Together.”
Ready for a seventh season as a Toffee. 💪@IGanaGueye 💙
