Tottenham reach agreement in principle to sign Senegal star Iliman Ndiaye

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Everton to sign Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye in a major transfer development.

The deal is understood to have been agreed between the two Premier League clubs, with Tottenham moving to secure the services of the versatile forward as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

Ndiaye has emerged as a key target for Tottenham, who are understood to have been impressed by his performances and versatility. The Senegalese international is capable of operating in several attacking positions, offering flexibility to the Spurs frontline.

As part of the wider transfer activity between the two clubs, Richarlison is set to move in the opposite direction. However, the Brazilian’s transfer to Everton will be completed as a separate deal rather than being formally included as a direct swap for Ndiaye.

The proposed movements would see both clubs reshape their attacking options ahead of the new season, with Tottenham bringing in Ndiaye while Everton welcome back Richarlison to familiar surroundings.

For Tottenham, Ndiaye’s arrival would add pace, creativity and attacking versatility to their squad. The 26-year-old has also gained valuable experience at international level with Senegal, further enhancing his profile.

Richarlison, meanwhile, would return to Everton, where he previously enjoyed a successful spell before leaving for Tottenham. His familiarity with the club and the Premier League could make the move an important addition to Everton’s attacking department.

With an agreement in principle now reportedly in place for Ndiaye, attention will turn to completing the remaining formalities before the Senegal international can officially begin his Tottenham career.
