Senegalese midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye has signed a one-year deal with Al-Diriyah SC, a newly promoted club in the Saudi Arabian Roshn League. The deal includes an option for an additional year and follows Gueye's departure from Everton as a free agent. Al-Diriyah successfully competed with Al-Ahli for the player, viewing the signing as both a sporting and marketing success. At 33 years old, Gueye is the most capped player in Senegal's history and joins compatriots Sadio Mané, Edouard Mendy, and Kalidou Koulibaly already playing in the Saudi Pro League. His departure presents a challenge for Everton, who lose a key player from their midfield. The influx of Senegalese talent into the Saudi League continues to grow with several recent signings.
