Everton manager Ronald Koeman says that he has been delighted with the performances of summer signing Idrissa Gueye.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has said that he has been impressed with how new signing Idrissa Gueye has adapted to life at Goodison Park.

Despite featuring in Aston Villa's relegation to the Championship, Gueye gained admirers for his style of play in the West Midlands and Koeman has described the Senegalese international as a "great signing" after he helped the Toffees into second place in the Premier League table.

The 53-year-old told reporters: "The adaptation of the players hasn't taken long.

"He is playing comfortable. He puts a lot of energy on the pitch and he's comfortable on the ball. He's a great signing."

Gueye is expected to feature when Everton face Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
