Everton want premium price to sell Iliman Ndiaye amid fresh links
Everton will reportedly demand a premium to part ways with 25-year-old Senegalese international Iliman Ndiaye amid his links with Newcastle United and Tottenham.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Iliman Ndiaye. The two high-profile Premier League clubs are keen on reinforcing their offensive units by signing a versatile attacker next year. So, the 25-year-old Everton mainstay has emerged as a target for them.
However, the Toffees are adamant that they will not entertain bids for the Rouen-born attacker below their premium valuation. While initial reports suggested a fee worth around £30 million may be enough to land Ndiaye, Everton will demand around £60-70 million to part ways with him next year.
Iliman Ndiaye and his time with Everton so far
Iliman Ndiaye has established himself as one of the most underrated attackers in the Premier League since joining Everton from Marseille in a deal worth £15 million in July 2024. While the versatile 25-year-old attacker took some time to become an undisputed first-choice starter for the Merseyside club, he has not looked back in the last 12 months.
The Senegalese international has been hot off the blocks in the 2025/26 season, amassing three goals and one assist in nine Premier League outings thus far. Meanwhile, Ndiaye’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Newcastle United’s interest in Iliman Ndiaye is understandable. The Magpies are scouring the market for a versatile wide attacker, as Anthony Elanga has struggled to make his mark since arriving from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window. So, while Eddie Howe has a stacked offensive unit in his squad, Ndiaye will be a top-notch addition to the Newcastle United attack.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, the Lilywhites are yet to fill Son Heung-min’s void at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. So, Ndiaye is an option worth considering, as his qualities make him an ideal candidate for the North London club. However, a move may not be straightforward, as the Toffees are demanding a premium to part ways with the French-born attacker.
While initial reports suggested a fee worth £30 million may be enough to land him, Everton will demand around £60-70 million to part ways with him. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 25-year-old Senegalese international amid Everton’s push to keep him by raising his price.
