Arsenal ‘make enquiry’ for Iliman Ndiaye as Al-Hilal face transfer fight | OneFootball

Arsenal have joined the race for Everton’s Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye, setting up a battle with Al-Hilal before the window closes. According to Goal.com, the Gunners have made an enquiry as they weigh several attacking options.

Arsenal’s hierarchy are admirers of the winger, who has been heavily linked with Al-Hilal. The Saudi club are pursuing a new wide forward at the request of their coaching staff.

Everton offered Ndiaye fresh terms, which he declined. That has opened the door to a departure, and several clubs are now in the chase.

Ndiaye is priced at around £75 million. A head-to-head between Arsenal and Al-Hilal could make it one of the window’s biggest deals.

One factor complicates Al-Hilal’s plans. Ndiaye has already set his sights on playing in the UEFA Champions League, which hands Arsenal a sporting edge. The Saudi side must now try to sell both their project and the money.
