Career

Club

On graffiti, 2010

Gueye grew up in a family of school director (father) and a teacher (mother). He started playing football at 6 years old, attending a football club at school. In 1999, he enrolled in the school football club "Duan" (Dakar). At the beginning of his professional career coaches have used him at various positions, including striker and midfielder.[1] He is a central defender or defensive midfielder for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. Combining great strength and fitness with excellent passing and heading ability he earned respect and love from FC Metalist Kharkiv fans soon enough as they attributed a personal chant "Papa is able to do everything, just give the time" to him.

On 31 August 2016, Gueye signed for Russian Premier League side FC Rostov.[2]

When the Metalist coach Myron Markevych was placed as the head coach of the Ukraine national football team in 2010, there were talks of naturalization of Gueye.[3]
