Ndiaye’s speed, technical abilities, and scoring prowess will be a valuable addition to Sean Dyche’s team for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
His eagerness to join Everton is a testament to the club’s appeal and ambition.
The highly-rated Ndiaye is expected to be a key player for the Toffees, and fans are eagerly awaiting his debut on the pitch.
