Everton fullback Lucas Digne is full of praise for former teammate Idrissa Gueye.

Gueye has been superb for PSG since his summer arrival.

And ex-PSG defender Digne told Le Parisien: "He was one of our key players, the one who gave balance to the team. He provided the defensive base while being able to launch attacks when necessary.

"His profile is completely different from most circles by his ability to recover while anticipating a lot of tackles. It makes me think in this of N'Golo Kanté. His qualities are rare."
