Everton are well-placed to win the race for an "incredible" Premier League forward, with Leeds United now on the back foot.
Toffees eyeing new forward with Ndiaye attracting attention
Iliman Ndiaye has been ruled out of Senegal's upcoming friendly matches due to a foot injury, which is likely to be a concern for the Toffees, given that he has been one of their most important players this season, picking up six goals and three assists in the Premier League.
Having caught the eye during his second full season on Merseyside, the 26-year-old is starting to attract interest from fellow English clubs, with Liverpool recently being named as potential suitors, alongside Premier League leaders Arsenal.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium outfit are expected to hold out for a fee of £65m, which means if they do decide to cash-in this summer, they should have ample money to bring in a replacement, and they have now set their sights on a seasoned international.
Everton well-placed to win race for "incredible" winger
According to a report from Football Insider, Everton are now in a strong position to win the race for Fulham star Harry Wilson, who has collected 68 caps for Wales, most recently featuring in the World Cup qualifier defeat against Bosnia & Herzegovina on penalties.
Several Premier League sides are said to be in the race for the Welshman's signature, including Leeds, but Daniel Farke's side are now on the back foot, with rival suitors expected to make more attractive propositions in the summer.

Wilson's contract is set to expire in the summer, and David Moyes' side are well-placed to secure his signature on a free transfer, with bringing in a new winger believed to be of key significance to the Scottish manager.
The 29-year-old has been impressing for both club and country this season, receiving plaudits from journalist Bence Bocsak after catching the eye in a 7-1 victory against North Macedonia back in November.
Bocsak said: "Harry Wilson wore the captain’s armband for Wales for the first time tonight. He marked it with a hat-trick to secure their place in the World Cup play offs. Incredible performance. He got an assist as well."
The £55k-a-week winger has also been one of Fulham's most influential players, scoring ten Premier League goals, which is the highest number in the squad, while also providing six assists in 29 matches.
Wilson's availability on a free transfer makes signing him an even more attractive proposition, so it is exciting news Everton are in a strong proposition to win the race for his signature, and they should look to bring in the Wales star regardless of whether Ndiaye moves on.
