Arsenal linked with Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye as summer rumour emerges

Senegalese-French winger Iliman Ndiaye is being linked with a move from Everton to Arsenal, with the 26-year-old currently valued at €55m.

Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille on 3 July 2024 for a reported €18m and has a contract with the club until 30 June 2029. The potential move would therefore involve two Premier League clubs and would not be a free transfer.

The right winger has started both of Everton’s domestic matches this season, providing one assist in a Premier League appearance and featuring in the EFL Cup. He also made three appearances for Senegal at the 2026 World Cup, scoring once and contributing two assists.

Ndiaye began his senior career at Sheffield United after progressing through youth football in England and France. He moved to Marseille in August 2023 before switching to Everton the following summer.

His current market valuation is €55m, more than three times the fee Everton paid Marseille. There is no indication that a deal has been agreed, and the rumour does not include a reported probability or proposed transfer fee.

Ndiaye remains an Everton player and is tied to the club for three more seasons beyond the current campaign.
