Iliman Ndiaye attracts Tottenham interest as Manchester City competition grows

Tottenham have joined Manchester City in the race to sign Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye, with the Senegal international emerging as a target for another major Premier League club.

According to Foot Mercato, Tottenham are considering an approach for Ndiaye despite already spending about €355 million during an ambitious transfer window.

The London club are now looking at the 25-year-old as they assess further additions to their squad and could attempt to persuade Everton to sell the Senegalese striker.

Ndiaye’s growing list of suitors could also create an opportunity for Everton to reshape their own squad if the forward eventually leaves Goodison Park.

The Toffees could look towards Tottenham for a replacement or another attacking option, with two players reportedly being considered.

One possibility is Jack Grealish, who spent last season on loan and could return to Everton.

Richarlison is another Tottenham player being considered as part of a possible deal involving Ndiaye.

Any potential transfer would therefore have implications for both clubs, with Tottenham seeking to strengthen their attack while Everton could use Ndiaye’s departure to pursue one of the London club’s players.

However, Tottenham face competition for the Senegal international’s signature.

Manchester City are already interested in Ndiaye and could also make a move for the Everton forward.

The interest from City means Tottenham will have to compete with the Premier League champions if they decide to make their pursuit more concrete.

Ndiaye’s situation has consequently become one to watch as both clubs consider whether to make an approach to Everton.

For Tottenham, the interest comes after a transfer window in which the club have already committed about €355 million to new signings.

Despite that significant spending, the London side are reportedly prepared to explore another major addition and have identified Ndiaye as a potential target.

For Everton, the situation could provide an opportunity to strengthen their own squad if a deal for the Senegalese player is eventually agreed.

A potential return for Grealish would give the Toffees an option they already know, having had the England international on loan last season.

Richarlison is also under consideration as another possible addition from Tottenham.

No agreement has been reached for Ndiaye at this stage, while Tottenham must also contend with City’s interest.

The Senegalese forward therefore remains at the centre of a developing transfer situation involving two of England’s biggest clubs.
