Tottenham join race for Everton’s Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

According to French outlet Foot Mercato, the 26-year-old Everton forward has emerged as a target for Spurs after an impressive campaign in the Premier League.

Ndiaye is also reportedly attracting interest from Manchester City, with the Senegalese forward said to be involved in positive discussions with the champions.

Tottenham assess Ndiaye option

Tottenham see Ndiaye as a potential addition to their attacking line, although their interest is separate from their reported pursuit of Monaco forward Folarin Balogun.

There could also be movement between Tottenham and Everton involving Richarlison, with the Brazilian forward reportedly a potential target for the Merseyside club.

Ndiaye’s contract at Everton runs until 2029, meaning any deal would likely require the Premier League club to negotiate a significant transfer fee.

Senegal forward impresses at Everton

Ndiaye has established himself as an important attacking player for Everton since returning to England two years ago following a difficult spell with Marseille.

The Rouen-born forward made 32 appearances for Everton last season, contributing six goals and three assists.

His performances have now placed him on the radar of several leading clubs, with Tottenham and Manchester City among those reportedly monitoring his situation.

Ndiaye has no shortage of options

The Senegal international’s long-term contract means Everton remain in a strong position regarding his future, but growing interest could test the club’s resolve during the transfer window.

For Ndiaye, the attention from some of England’s biggest clubs represents recognition of his progress since returning to the Premier League.

With Tottenham considering their attacking options and Manchester City also reportedly interested, the Senegal forward’s future is becoming one of the stories to watch before the transfer window closes.
