Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement in principle with Everton regarding the transfer of winger Iliman Ndiaye. According to journalist David Ornstein, both parties still need to finalize personal terms and arrange a medical examination for the player before the deal can be officially confirmed.
Ndiaye joined Everton in 2024 from Marseille. During his time with the Toffees, the Senegalese international recorded 17 goals and four assists in 73 appearances, making an immediate impact on the team's attack.
The move coincides with ongoing developments regarding Richarlison. While the two deals are legally separate, the 29-year-old forward is nearing a return to Everton, the club he left to join Spurs in 2022. During his tenure in London, the forward made 134 appearances and scored 32 goals.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has previously confirmed that Richarlison expressed a desire to leave the club. For the forward, a return to Everton represents a chance to recapture the form that defined his most productive years in the Premier League.
