He trialed with Spartak Trnava in 2009 after being scouted in Senegal. In little less than a year Gueye played 19 games in the league and 4 in the Europa League, scoring twice. He would eventually be released by Spartak after unimpressive performances.

Club career

Spartak Trnava

In the winter of 2008, Gueye officially joined Slovak club Spartak Trnava on trial, [2] [3] joining with four other Senegalese players. [4] Gueye made his debut for Spartak in the first round of qualification in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League, playing the full match in a 2–1 win against Inter Baku. [5] He also played in the second leg, helping Spartak win 3–1 and advance to the second round of the competition, [6] where they were then knocked out by FK Sarajevo on aggregate. [7]

In a Traditional derby against ŠK Slovan Bratislava, Gueye was subjected to racist abuse from home fans of Slovan Bratislava. About a dozen people allegedly addressed racist insults to the Senegalese player such as "monkey" or "go back to the tree where you have a banana". According to the association, Slovan fans responded to his play with racist boos and a torn-off seat was also thrown at the player. [8] In a league match against Artmedia Petrzalka, Gueye received a red card and would be suspended for the next two matches. [9] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 away loss to DAC Dunajska Streda, scoring in the 77th minute. [10]

The officials of Spartak Trnava reached an agreement with the Senegalese defender on November 27, 2009, to terminate his professional contract. [11] [12] [13] [14] From the four Senegalese players that joined Spartak Trnava on trial, Gueye was the last to leave. [15]
