Style of play
Football journalist Adam Bate believed that Gueye was the Premier League player closest to N'Golo Kanté. He has also helped Ronald Koeman change the team's style of play after taking over from the previous manager. Gueye was described as Everton's midfield dynamo and catalyst for their pressing game. His former colleague Romelu Lukaku asserted that Gueye improved the team in midfield by making so many challenges. He allowed Everton to control the game a lot more due to his work rate, passing and his dedication. Gueye was the top tackler in the Premier League 2016–17 season.
