Watford
On 29 April 2020, it was announced Gueye had agreed a deal to sign for Premier League club Watford upon the expiry of his contract with Le Havre, on 1 July 2020. Watford released promotional material, and issued a press release, of Gueye signing a five year contract and holding the club's jersey.[3]

Gueye claimed his agent had given “bad advice”, citing his Watford contract contained a salary of £45,000 per month, not the £45,000 per week, that Gueye was originally quoted by his agent.[4]

On 2 July 2020, Gueye signed a four year deal with Ligue 1 side Marseille, for a reported fee of €3 million (£2.7 million).[5][6]
