Former Everton striker Yakubu has hailed Idrissa Gana Gueye as the “signing of the season”.
The Nigerian, who earlier this month returned to English football with Coventry City, has been impressed with the way Gana has made an immediate impact at Goodison Park following a summer switch from Aston Villa.
Gana had featured in every game for the Blues before departing to represent Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations - and Yakubu has backed the midfielder to improve even further under manager Ronald Koeman.
“It is pleasing to see and, for me, he is the signing of the season.
