Jamie Carragher praised Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye for his exceptional display in Everton’s victory over Sunderland on Monday night.
The Toffees’ number 10 produced a moment of brilliance to give his side the lead with a spectacular goal.
Speaking live on Sky Sports during halftime, the former Liverpool defender expressed his admiration for Ndiaye’s talent and consistency.
Carragher described the 25-year-old as one of the Premier League’s most exciting players, highlighting his technical quality and composure on the ball.
“He’s an absolutely fabulous player, he’s brilliant,” Carragher said. “I watched him against Manchester City a few weeks ago, and he looked like a City player wearing an Everton shirt.
People talk about Grealish and Dewsbury-Hall, but Ndiaye is clearly Everton’s best player. He was last season, and he continues to be this season.”
Ndiaye’s goal against Sunderland marked his 14th for Everton, including his fourth of the current campaign.
His performance once again underlined his growing influence under Sean Dyche, as Everton continue their strong run of form in the league.
The Senegalese international, known for his creativity, sharp dribbling, and decisive finishing, has become a key figure in Everton’s attack.
Fans have praised his energy and flair, while pundits see him as one of the most complete forwards in English football this season.
Carragher’s comments add to the rising recognition Ndiaye has earned since arriving in the Premier League.
His ability to dictate play and deliver in crucial moments has made him a fan favourite at Goodison Park.
With every match, Ndiaye strengthens his reputation as one of Africa’s brightest stars in European football, and his goal against Sunderland serves as another reminder of his immense quality.
