IDRISSA GUEYE has snubbed Nottingham Forest’s attempt to hijack the Senegalese midfielder’s return to Everton.
Paris Saint-Germain are believed to have given Gueye, 32, the green light for a return to the Premier League.

Gueye became a huge fan favourite during his spell with the Toffees between 2016-2019.
That was after he joined them from Aston Villa.
