The Senegal international has been handed a leadership role in Mauricio Pochettino’s team, in the absence of Marquinhos
Stand-in captain Idrissa Gueye said he is happy to be passing his experience to Paris Saint-Germain youngsters in their pre-season friendly games.
With Marquinhos still on vacation after helping Brazil reach the final of the Copa America, Gueye has led the Ligue 1 giants out as captain in their last three matches.
The former Everton and Aston Villa midfielder guided the Parisians to a 4-0 win over Le Mans a week ago before playing out a 2-2 draw against Chambly and their 2-1 win over Bundesliga club Augsburg on Wednesday.
