While not necessarily expected, Idrissa Gueye has established himself as an essential player for PSG since the start of the season. The Senegalese are doing a lot of good in the scheme of Mauricio Pochettino, who could very well have seen his player go away this summer.

This season more than ever, the stars are numerous at PSG . Enough to spoil the choice for Mauricio Pochettino to compose his team. But since the start of this exercise, some decisions seem obvious to the Argentine coach in view of the performances of some players. And while Idrissa Gueye was not necessarily expected at PSG , the Senegalese impressed enormously. Indeed, the former Everton has established himself as an essential link in the system of Pochettino , both defensively, but also offensively as he has managed to score several times. Enough to render many services to PSG , which could however not have been able to count on Idrissa Gueye for this 2021-2022 season.

Gueye could have left!

This season, in the midfield of PSG , we expected in particular to see a duo made up of Marco Verratti and the summer rookie, Georginio Wijnaldum . But again the repeated injuries of the Italian and the disappointing performance of the Dutchman, this leaves room for other players and Idrissa Gueye took the opportunity to win in the 11 of Mauricio Pochettino . Today, the Senegalese even seems to be steadfast. However, in the mind of the principal concerned, it would have been far from won at the start of the season. Indeed, this summer, Gueye could very well have packed his bags. The reason ? Wijnaldum . According to Daily Mail reports, the former Everton player had given serious thought to leaving in the last transfer window, believing that the arrival of the former Liverpool player could have been damaging to him. Which is ultimately far from the case today.

Finally, Idrissa Gueye did not leave PSG , but it is also perhaps because some offers have not arrived. Especially from Manchester United . This summer, the Red Devils would have liked to repatriate the former Everton player to the Premier League, to no avail. Indeed, despite Solskjaer's willingness to recruit Gueye , the offensive could not be launched since Manchester United did not managed to separate from Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard , while Paul Pogba also did not leave the Mancunian workforce. A failure which is therefore the happiness of PSG .
