Quizzed on whether Ndiaye is destined to link up with a team competing for Champions League qualification on a regular basis at some point in the not too distant future, ex-Everton midfielder Barry - speaking in association with BetMGM - told GOAL: “The couple of times I've been to the new stadium this year, I've been really, really impressed with him. He's one of those that does get you off your seat, on the other wing to Jack Grealish.
“He's really, really exciting to watch, so I completely understand the interest he's going to get. But, I think Everton need to keep him happy, need to keep him at the club, because those players don't come along too often. Everton, where they are at the minute, they're going to struggle to attract that type of player.
“It's a big time for Everton to look at him and keep him happy, try and keep him on the books, and try and improve. Everton with [David] Moyes, try and see if they can kick on again next year. It's been a great season so far this year going into their new stadium. Keep players like that and they need to kick on again.”
