Everton are in search of another new forward this summer to really bolster their options.
David Moyes will be keen to see some new faces added to the squad over the coming days with the deadline just over a week away.
However, this summer has not been one for selling at Everton, with the Blues desperate to keep their top players at the club.
One of those players is Iliman Ndiaye, who has been a revelation on Merseyside since he landed from Marseille.
The Senegal international will be key to Everton’s success this season, and is off the table for any other clubs.
But it seems as if some have tried their luck already this summer.
Everton reject Iliman Ndiaye approaches
Earlier in the window, Romando suggested Ndiaye had interest from Inter Milan, as they struggle to get a deal for Ademola Lookman over the line.
Now, he has suggested other sides have shown an interest in the Everton hero.

Everton fans absolutely adore Ndiaye, and there will be huge excitement for what he can do with better players around him.
Now the likes of Jack Grealish have landed on Merseyside, Ndiaye could potentially take his game to another level.
Everton simply cannot sell Ndiaye
So much good work has gone on at Everton under The Friedkin Group over the past few months, and selling Ndiaye would completely undo all of that.
Everton are in a much stronger financial position, where, for the first time in years, they do not have to sell their top assets.
PSR has been a real headache for the Blues over recent years, but now it is time for Everton to really push on.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium is expected to attract better players for Everton, and selling their top player would mark a real step backwards.
