Born in Dakar, Gueye spent his early career in Senegal for Diambars before joining French club Lille in 2008.[1] He broke through into the first team in the 2010–11 season, in which Lille won Ligue 1, and became a regular starter in the league and the UEFA Champions League over the following four seasons.[2]
