Pape Gueye is a combative, box-to-box midfielder whose career has taken him through Lille's academy system, a stint at Paris Saint-Germain, and a prolonged spell at Everton. Physically imposing and strong in the press, he has been a reliable presence in Senegal's midfield engine room, valued for his ability to win the ball and drive forward. Now at Villarreal at 36, his legs may be slowing but his reading of the game and experience in major European leagues still make him a credible squad option for Senegal's 2026 campaign.
