5 world class midfielders who do not get the attention they deserve

#1 Idrissa Gana Gueye

One of the best bargain buys if not the best buy of the summer, Idrissa Gueye has quietly gone about his work in the midfield and played an integral role in Everton’s good performances under Ronald Koeman.

A defensive midfielder par excellence, Gueye’s arrival at Goodison park from Aston Villa has provided some much-needed solidity and stability to the Everton midfield. The former Lille midfielder reads the game superbly and his interceptions and tackles have been invaluable. A player who is very similar to Chelsea’s N’golo Kante, Gueye is definitely one of the most underappreciated players in the world.

The Guardian recently reported that Arsenal are interested in signing the Senegalese international. However, the Gunners will definitely have to pay a hefty fee if they are to convince Ronald Koeman to sell one of his best players in the summer transfer window.
