After bursting to life in the transfer window, Everton are working to sign [Idrissa Gana-Gueye](https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/idrissa-gueye/profil/spieler/126665) from Paris Saint-Germain. The French club are open to letting the player go this summer, and a loan deal is being explored as of now. 

PSG want his full salary paid by Everton in order to loan him out. So, negotiations are still going on to reach a conclusion for the deal. The player left Everton to join PSG in 2019, and could now be on the verge of a return as he is keen to play under Frank Lampard.

The 32-year-old is comfortable in possession, and would fit well into the system of football that Lampard is trying to implement at Goodison Park. He completed 93% of his passes this past season, playing 26 games as PSG won the Ligue 1 title. 

He has also played in the Champions League, and will be returning a much better performer with experience at the top level behind him. 

Everton have already signed James Tarkowski, [Dwight McNeil](https://technosports.co.in/2022/07/28/dwight-mcneil-joins-everton-on-5-yr/) and Ruben Vinagre to bolster their squad for the coming season. And Idrissa Gana-Gueye is next on their agenda. But despite being linked with a move for Chelsea’s Ross Barkley, it seems unlikely that they will push for the return of the attacking midfielder.
