Everton caretaker boss David Unsworth is delighted with the from of Idrissa Gueye.
The midfielder is on the brink of penning a new contract.
"I believe we are very close which is fantastic news for Everton," Unsworth said.
"We are very close and that's great news for Idrissa and great news for me. He' s been great over the period of time. I have seen his performances.
