After several weeks of discussions, Pape Gueye has become part of the Olympique de Marseille club. Next season, the Franco-Senegalese will operate under the Phocaean colors. His dreams have become true with this signature.

Immediately after the official transfer, Gueye joined his new team-mates at Faro, Portugal for the pre-season preparations. On OM’s official website, he talked about his favourite position. And he also unveiled the two players that inspired him to progress in his young career.
