A second English suitor
Iliman Ndiaye is not short of admirers as the window winds down. Manchester City have been tracking the situation for several days. Tottenham have now entered the frame.
According to Foot Mercato, the Everton winger sits among the options Spurs are weighing up to strengthen their attack. The London club have not dropped their pursuit of Folarin Balogun either.
That double interest leaves Everton in a strong spot with three days left before the English market shuts. Two buyers chasing the same player tends to move the price in one direction.
Try it for $0.99.
The player has already made his choice
Talks between Ndiaye and Manchester City are continuing and are said to be moving in a positive direction, according to the same source. The champions are not planning on being beaten to the punch.
The Senegal international has made it clear in recent days that he wants to join the Sky Blues. In this sort of last-minute negotiation, that counts for a lot.
After a spell at Marseille before moving to England, Ndiaye has settled at Everton as one of the club’s most creative attacking outlets. His direct style appeals to two teams with very different needs.
Richarlison going the other way could unlock all of it
This one is not playing out in isolation. Richarlison could head to Everton, which would free up a place in Tottenham’s attack.
Nothing is finalised on either City’s side or Spurs’. The next few hours will tell whether Everton are willing to sell, and to whom.
