Idrissa Gueye will no longer wear the Everton shirt. The Senegalese international midfielder has left the Premier League club at the end of his contract, without an extension. A chapter closes for a player who left his mark on the Merseyside club's history.
The player has chosen to continue his career in Saudi Arabia. It is Al-Diriyah, a club in the Roshn League, that has signed the Senegalese player, bringing him through Al-Ahli where he previously played. A move that confirms the growing appeal of the Saudi championship for experienced African players.
For Senegal, Gueye's situation deserves attention. At 35, a move to a league less competitive than the Premier League may raise questions about his place in the national team. But in contemporary football, maintaining a high level of play in the Saudi Pro League remains a reality. The coach of the Lions of Teranga will now have this matter to settle.
