Everton will be heading into the transfer market wanting incomings to bolster David Moyes’ squad – but they may also be wary of losing Iliman Ndiaye.
Everton have made a solid start to the Premier League season, taking 18 points from 11 games in a campaign that would usually warrant European football with such a points tally.
However, despite David Moyes wanting incomings to further pack out the bulk of his playing squad, he may have to be wary of exits.
And star winger Iliman Ndiaye could well be one headed out in the coming months, with reports from France stating that some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are after his signature.

The report by Footmercato journalist Santi Aouna states that Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in a move for Iliman Ndiaye.
The Senegal international has been propelled to new heights this season after some incredible performances, and that has seen him attract attention from some of the Premier League’s elite.

Manchester City have struggled on the right wing this season, being unable to select a first-choice player in that position – whilst Liverpool could be looking at a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah and Tottenham may well be in the mood to increase their attacking ranks.
It remains to be seen whether they will all complete a move for Ndiaye, but Everton won’t want their most prized attacking asset to leave the club after a solid start to the campaign.
One thing is for certain, and that is that Ndiaye has been Everton’s player of the season so far.
The 25-year-old has been incredible for the Toffees, scoring the first competitive goal at the Hill Dickinson Stadium as well as a superb solo strike against Sunderland.

With Jack Grealish on the opposite flank and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the hole, the Toffees have been transformed this season and that has shown with Everton climbing to 11th after their 1-0 win over Manchester United.
Ndiaye’s dribbling creates space for others, as well as fashioning chances for himself, and that is a huge bonus to have for a club who are challenging for the European spaces.
