Pape Gueye
27-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
Makes thee crosses
Gueye recorded two shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against Belgium.
ANALYSIS
Gueye struggled to make an impact in Wednesday's must‑win match, managing only a single shot on target, one duel won, and six passes into the final third before being substituted in the 66th minute. Even so, he leaves the tournament with a commendable overall contribution, scoring twice and adding an assist across four appearances, starting every match while maintaining an 87 percent pass accuracy, giving Senegal a reliable midfield presence throughout their World Cup campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential target for Everton
Everton could consider a move for Gueye if they can't sign Idrissa Gueye to a contract extension, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Everton need to bolster their midfield depth for the long run, and they would be smart to find a long-term replacement for Gueye, who's not expected to be around much longer. The Villarreal midfielder scored twice for Senegal in the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is tailor-made for the Premier League, but it's unclear whether Villarreal would be open to his departure.
