Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur interested in Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye
Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are ‘monitoring’ Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye, according to CaughtOffside. Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in the player. The report adds that his current club could demand up to £65million for his signature in an attempt to fend off suitors.
Ndiaye, 25, joined the Toffees back in 2024 and is under contract at the Hill Dickinson Stadium until June 2029. He has been a key player since his switch to Merseyside and they could face a battle to keep hold of him down the line amid attention from elsewhere. The forward has made 56 appearances in all competitions, 19 of which have come this season, and he has scored 15 goals.
The Senegal international, who has 39 caps to his name, joined Everton from Marseille having previously been at Sheffield United. He was an important figure for the Blades during his time at South Yorkshire. The France-born man found the net on 22 occasons in 88 outings during his Bramall Lane days.
Where next for Everton ace Iliman Ndiaye amid Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur links?
Everton’s resolve may well be tested if a big money offer came in from Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs this summer. Manchester United have also been mentioned and they are likely to be busy in the next window. Time will tell whether the Toffees will be able to retain his services for another year.
After joining them, Ndiaye said at the time: "I am so pleased to be an Everton player. The main reasons I wanted to join were how big the club is, its history and the part I can play in helping the team in the forward direction it is going in. I'm so excited and can't wait to get going. Kevin [Thelwell, ex-Everton director of football] and the manager both spoke to me and made me feel wanted. My Senegal team-mate Idrissa [Gueye] also played a part and spoke highly of the club and a lot of good things."
Meanwhile, their ex-boss Sean Dyche, now at Nottingham Forest, said: "Iliman adds versatility to our attacking options and strengthens our forward line as we look to build on the progress we made as a team last season in terms of chances created. He is still young but has experience at European and international level and we feel he will be a really positive addition to our squad."
