Pape Alassane Gueye (born 24 January 1999) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for La Liga club Sevilla, on loan from Ligue 1 club Marseille. Born in France, he plays for the Senegal national team.
Club career
Le Havre
Gueye made his professional debut for Le Havre in a 0–0 Ligue 2 tie with Chamois Niortais on 5 May 2017.[3] He signed his first professional contract on 20 June 2017.[4]
Watford
On 29 April 2020, it was revealed that Gueye had agreed to join Premier League team Watford when his contract with Le Havre expired on 1 July 2020. Gueye signed a five-year contract with Watford and wore the club's jersey, according to promotional material and a press release made by the club.[5][6] Twenty-four hours later, Watford agreed a deal for Gueye's transfer to Ligue 1 club Marseille, which included a sell-on clause for Watford. 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.[7][8]
Marseille
On 1 July 2020, Gueye signed a four year deal with Ligue 1 side Marseille,[9] for a reported fee of €3 million (£2.7 million).[10][11]
Loan to Sevilla
On 30 January 2023, Gueye was loaned out to La Liga club Sevilla for the remainder of the season.[12]
International career
Gueye was born in France and is of Senegalese descent.[13] He represented both the France national under-18 football team and the France U19s. However, he decided to represent Senegal on senior level. He debuted with the Senegal national team in a 2–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Congo on 14 November 2021.[14][15]
He was part of Senegal's squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations; the Lions of Teranga went on to win the tournament for the first time in their history.[16][17]
Gueye was appointed a Grand Officer of the National Order of the Lion by President of Senegal Macky Sall following the nation's victory at the tournament.[18]
Style of play
Gueye is a box-to-box midfielder, noted for his aggressive and highly competitive style of play. He also has a good game viewing and physical strength.[19]
