Pape Alassane Gueye (born 24 January 1999) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Ligue 1 club Olympique de Marseille.

Club Career

Le Havre

Gueye made his professional debut for Le Havre in a 0–0 Ligue 2 tie with Chamois Niortais on 5 May 2017. He signed his first professional contract on 20 June 2017.

Watford

On 29 April 2020, it was announced Gueye had agreed a deal to sign for Premier League club Watford upon the expiry of his contract with Le Havre, on 1 July 2020. Watford released promotional material, and issued a press release, of Gueye signing a five year contract and holding the club's jersey.

24 hours later, Watford agreed a deal for Gueye's transfer to Ligue 1 club Marseille, which included a sell-on clause for Watford. Gueye claimed his agent had given “bad advice”, citing his Watford contract contained a salary of £45,000 per month, not the £45,000 per week, that Gueye was originally quoted by his agent.

Marseille

On 1 July 2020, Gueye signed a four year deal with Ligue 1 side Marseille, for a reported fee of €3 million (£2.7 million).
