Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye is full of praise for new teammate Andre Gomes.

Gomes has struck up a potent understanding with Senegalese Gana following his debut in last month's Goodison Park encounter with Crystal Palace.

"Every midfielder we have is capable of playing in this team but the manager has to make his choice," Gana told evertontv.

“Andre Gomes brings something special, with his technique and the way he keeps the ball.

“Of course, we knew he was a good player, he came from Barcelona – and you know the types of players who go to Barcelona.

“We try to work together to help the team defensively and offensively – and it is going well.

“He is helping us a lot so, hopefully, he will continue his form and carry on helping the team."
