Everton FC have secured a major coup by signing Senegal attacker Iliman Ndiaye from Olympique Marseille for a fee of €18.5m plus €1.5m in add-ons.
The Senegalese has agreed to a five-year contract at Goodison Park, snubbing interest from other Premier League clubs according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Ndiaye’s desire to join Everton was clear, and he has chosen the Toffees ahead of rival suitors.
The 24-year-old’s signing is a significant boost for Everton, who have beaten off competition to land their target. Ndiaye’s pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability will be a welcome addition to Sean Dyche’s squad.
The player’s desire to join Everton is a testament to the club’s appeal and ambition.
With the deal set to be finalized, Ndiaye will become a key player for the Toffees, and fans will be eager to see him in action.
The signing is a statement of intent from Everton, who are looking to build a strong squad to challenge in the Premier League.
Ndiaye moved to Marseille last summer from English side Sheffield United after helping them secure Premier League promotion.
He made 46 appearances for Marseille across all competitions last season, scoring four goals and providing five assists in the process.
