Gabon international Mario Lemina has reportedly been listed as a possible replacement for Idrissa Gana Gueye at Everton.

Gueye completed a move to French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday for a reported £29 million after three years at Goodison Park.

The Senegal international established himself as one of the best midfielders in the English Premier League during his time with the Toffees where he made a total of 108 appearances.

“I’m immensely proud to sign for Paris Saint-Germain,” Gueye told PSG’s official website.

“After focusing on the Afcon with Senegal, I wanted to give a new boost to my club career by joining Paris Saint-Germain, one of the most structured and ambitious sports projects in Europe,” the 29-year-old former Lille midfielder added.

Lemina, 25, has been tipped as a possible replacement for his fellow African on Merseyside.

He has made 52 appearances for Southampton since joining the club from Juventus two years ago.
