Idrissa Gueye: Former Everton midfielder lifts the lid on joining PSG

Idrissa Gueye has explained how the desire to play in the Champions League was one of the reasons for joining Paris Saint-Germain from Everton.

The Senegal international completed a £30million move to the Ligue 1 champions in the summer after a botched switch in January.

Having previously played in the top European tournament with Lille, the 29-year-old will make a return to the competition when PSG take on Real Madrid on September 18.
