English Premier League side Everton Everton have confirmed the signing of forward Iliman Ndiaye from Marseille on a five-year deal.
Ndiaye becomes Everton’s third senior signing of the summer, following the arrivals of central midfielder Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa and winger Jack Harrison on another season-long loan from Leeds United.
Heavily linked with Nigeria international midfielder Wilfred Ndidi due to the uncertainty surrounding the future of Amadou Onana, the club will however not be pursuing the free signing of the 27 year old per what we exclusively gathered.
Sources close to Ndidi told OwnGoalNigeria.com that despite officially leaving Leicester following the expiration of his deal, talks are still ongoing on a new deal and both parties are expected to reach an agreement soon.
He said if an agreement can’t be found then there is the likelihood of a move to fellow English Premier League side Nottingham Forest or abroad with teams in France, Germany, Spain and Italy in contact with his representatives.
