Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye is in talks over a new deal, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.

Gueye has impressed at Everton since arriving from Aston Villa last summer, establishing himself as a key part of manager Koeman's plans.

He made 35 appearances in all competitions in his debut season, with his displays alerting a number of Premier League rivals as well as clubs from overseas.

But Everton are keen to fend off any interest in the player by tying him down to a new long-term deal, with improved terms to bring him in line with other top earners.
