Everton In ‘Final Stages’ To Sign ‘Excellent’ International Forward
Everton are looking to complete the signing of Iliman Ndiaye. The Olympique Marseille forward is looking for a move after just one year at the club from the south of France.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the deal is entering the final stages. The player has agreed to join Everton with the final details to be decided upon.
The Italian journalist has also detailed that Everton are in for Newcastle winger Yankub Minteh. But they face competition for the 20-year-olds signature from Olympique Lyon.
Who Is Iliman Ndiaye?
Ndiaye was a Marseille youth product, but at the age of 14 was transferred to Senegal club AS Dakar Sacré-Cœur. He later bounced around lower league clubs in England before signing for Sheffield United at 19.

His breakout season was at The Blades during the 2022/23 season. The Senegalese international described as “excellent” had 25 goal contributions in a Championship campaign that saw the club promoted. After succeeding in the English second tier, he transferred back to his boyhood club for £14.5 million.
But his form did not continue for Marseille as he only managed eight goal contributions, with five assists and 3 goals.
