[Chelsea](https://chelseanews.com/) already added Joao Pedro and Estevao Willian to their attack this past summer transfer window, as well as young wingers Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho, but Iliman Ndiaye may be the wide man they were looking for.
Liam Rosenior is coaxing the best football out of Cole Palmer again, and when he, Pedro, and Estevao are all healthy, they form one of the best attacking trios in European football.
The thing is, Chelsea need one more winger to complete the group, and their preference should be an out-and-out player who can consistently beat Premier League-level defenders with pace, trickery, creativity, and intelligence.
On Monday night football, Ndiaye and Everton may have lost 1-0 to a Benjamin Sesko-led Manchester United, but even in getting shutout, Ndiaye impressed with eight dribbles completed, which is an exceedingly difficult number to hit in the Premier League.
Every single Premier League club in need of a winger should be looking at Ndiaye, and if Chelsea show serious interest in the 25-year-old Senegal international, then they would be the favorites.
Ndiaye is a better fit on the wings than Garnacho and more ready to contribute than the mercurial Gittens. He has that left and right versatility that Chelsea additionally need.
The man’s numbers this season are impressive, even as Everton have tailed off in efficacy. He is averaging 3.4 combined dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game, even winning 2.3 tackles per game as a winger while scoring five goals.
Elite ball progression, the best defensive contributions from a winger in the Premier League, and a goal-scoring threat all mean that Ndiaye is an ideal winger target for Chelsea to complete their promising but still inconsistent attack.
