Arsenal are continuing to explore options to strengthen their attacking department before the close of the summer transfer window, with reports indicating Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye is among the players admired by the club’s recruitment team.
According to transfer journalist Ben Jacobs, speaking on the Latte Firm YouTube channel, the Senegal international is one of several attacking players under consideration as Arsenal assess potential additions to provide greater depth and versatility in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
The Gunners have already been active in the transfer market this summer, but attention is now understood to have shifted towards reinforcing the forward line as the club looks to build a squad capable of competing across multiple competitions during the new campaign.
While there is no indication that formal negotiations have begun with Everton, Jacobs reported that Ndiaye is viewed positively by figures at the Emirates Stadium because of his ability to operate in several attacking positions.
The 26-year-old is capable of playing as a central striker, second forward or on either flank, attributes that are considered valuable within Arteta’s tactical system.
Ndiaye has built a reputation for his close control, creativity and work rate, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s more dynamic attacking players following his move to Everton. His performances have also made him a regular member of the Senegal national team, further enhancing his profile.
ARSENAL are believed to be evaluating a number of attacking targets rather than focusing exclusively on one player, with the club carefully weighing financial considerations alongside tactical suitability.
The recruitment strategy has consistently prioritised players capable of fitting Arteta’s high-intensity style while offering flexibility across multiple positions.
Any potential move for Ndiaye would likely depend on Everton’s willingness to negotiate and the financial terms of a deal. The Merseyside club are expected to be reluctant to lose one of their key attacking players unless a significant offer is received, particularly as they prepare for another demanding Premier League campaign.
For Arsenal, adding another forward remains an important objective as they seek increased competition for places throughout the squad.
Injuries and fixture congestion have highlighted the need for greater attacking depth in recent seasons, and ARSENAL officials are understood to be determined to address that area before the transfer window closes.
