- What Seamus Coleman has said as Everton confirm Idrissa Gueye exit
Idrissa Gana Gueye will leave Everton for a second time as a modern-day legend.
Granted, there hasn't been many of those over the recent years on Merseyside, but the Senegal international won't be forgotten.

Set to sign for Al-Diriyah in Saudi Arabia , the midfielder couldn't agree fresh terms to remain in the Premier League.
Hayden Hackney has signed from Middlesbrough in midfield, but David Moyes still wants more after Gueye's exit.
With James Garner now injured ahead of the new season, panic stations are starting to set in for many.
But as Gueye moves on, like Seamus Coleman , those associated with Everton are only remembering the good times.
How has Seamus Coleman reacted to Idrissa Gueye's exit?
Goodison News has covered Gueye's exit and who could possibly replace him at Everton .
Coleman also left his playing days in blue behind him at the end of last season, but he is the ultimate legend around here right now.

Taking to Instagram after Gueye's exit was confirmed, the words of the Irishman show just how highly rated he was.
"You will be missed, Gana," he started.
"Thanks for everything and good luck my friend."
After 236 games for the Blues, it's hard to argue against any of that.
Why Everton could be in trouble already
Once again, this has been another terrible transfer window so far.
Important names both on and off the pitch, like Gueye, have been moved on, yet they are nowhere near close to being replaced.
Hackney is still yet to feature in pre-season, which makes Garner's injury even more worrying ahead of the Premier League.

Big money has still been spent on Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl staying permanently after their loans, but the squad is now weaker.

Coleman moving on also leaves another hole at right-back, with Nathan Patterson the only natural option.
Everton simply can't afford to start another season with Jake O'Brien or somebody else out of position down the right.
It's been years of stupidity and weakness in that area, yet Moyes, the Friedkins and Angus Kinnear aren't addressing it.
With Gueye moving on alongside others, the Toffees are simply leaving themselves with far too many transfer priorities to sort.
