PSG's Idrissa Gueye is a "great player" - Blaise Matuidi

Blaise Matuidi has hailed Senegal's Idrissa Gueye as a great player.

The defensive midfielder left Everton this summer to join Paris Saint-Germain and has settled in seamlessly.

When Matuidi left PSG for Juventus in 2017, a void was left in the Parisians midfield, but the arrival of Gueye has filled it according to captain Thiago Silva. Matuidi finds such opinion from his ex-teammate as "flattering".
