Idrissa Gana Gueye is excited by the prospect of ex-Lille teammate Lucas Digne playing his “best football” for Everton.
Frenchman Digne joined the Blues from Barcelona last week and could potentially make his Premier League debut at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday after playing the second 45 minutes of the weekend's friendly meeting with Valencia.
Gana was established in Lille’s midfield and had watched the left-back progress through the club’s academy when an 18-year-old Digne was handed his Ligue 1 baptism by manager Rudi Garcia in 2012.
The pair were separated when Digne was persuaded to join Paris Saint-Germain’s Qatari revolution in summer 2013.
