Iliman Ndiaye showcases why Premier League clubs are lining up to show him with Everton stats
Everton star Iliman Ndiaye is attracting significant interest within the Premier League this season as he produces numbers in line with the best players in Europe.
The winger has been a constant threat for the Toffees this season, and undoubtedly David Moyes’ standout player.
Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille in 2024 in a deal reportedly worth in the region of £15million.
Fast forward almost two years and the Toffees will hope to receive at least triple that fee if they are to sell the Senegal international this summer.
Everton transfer chiefs will hope to keep hold of the 26-year-old, however, as they look to push forward under Moyes.

Ndiaye enjoyed one of his quieter games on Saturday as Everton were beaten by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The forward was often crowded out by the Gunners’ right-hand side, but still almost managed to have a say on the final result.
After beating Jurrien Timber with a clever piece of skill on the wing, Ndiaye crossed, with his ball eventually finding Dwight McNeil in the box.

| Touches in opposition box | 75 |
The winger was first denied by a masterful Riccardo Calafiori block, and he was denied again just seconds later after hitting the post. His effort rebounded onto Ndiaye, who may look back on the moment and wish the ball had struck him differently before it trickled wide.
It says a lot that this was a quiet game for the 26-year-old, however, with his impressive stats this season attracting huge interest.
According to Statmuse, just nine players, including the likes of Lamine Yamal and Vinicius Junior, have completed more dribbles than Ndiaye’s 53 this season in Europe’s top five leagues, with only Jeremy Doku having more from the Premier League.
And there’s more – only four Premier League attackers have won more duels than the Everton man’s 145 this season, and few players have recorded more than his 145 recoveries.
How much could Everton get for Ndiaye?
It emerged following the summer that Inter Milan had been willing to pay £40m for the services of Ndiaye.
Everton had rejected the bid out of hand, and it appears that the right decision was made by transfer chiefs.
Romelu Lukaku, who moved to Manchester United in 2017 in a deal initially worth around £75m, but that could reportedly rise to £90m.
If bids do come for Ndiaye this summer, Everton will likely be looking for a fee in the same region.
And with the forward under contract until 2029, why should they not? The ultimate aim will be to keep the 26-year-old at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider this month that Arsenal are put off by Ndiaye’s price, and the Toffees will hope that more follow suit.
