Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye an option for Spurs if they miss out on Cody Gakpo | OneFootball

Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye is reportedly an option for Tottenham Hotspur should they miss out on Cody Gakpo.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club have completed the signing of Brazilian attacker Savinho from Manchester City this morning.

Spurs are also closing in on his former teammate Omar Marmoush, but manager Roberto De Zerbi wants one more attacker.

While Gakpo has been targeted for most of the summer, the Dutchman is also on the radar of Man City.

The Lilywhites have contingency plans in place should City move ahead of them in the pursuit of the Liverpool star.

Ndiaye has emerged as an option for Tottenham, but City are also keeping an eye on the Everton star.

AC Milan’s Rafael Leao also remains on Spurs’ radar, and other attackers are being monitored should they miss out on Gakpo.

Ndiaye has proven himself in the Premier League and he is also attracting the likes of Manchester United and Saudi Pro League clubs.

Everton are desperate to hold on to him and will demand at least €80 million from suitors to sell the 26-year-old.

Arsenal also have the Tottenham target on their radar, and a move to North London could be on the cards for the Senegalese international.

Ndiaye has three years remaining on his current Toffees contract, and there is no exit clause in it.

Everton have been looking to get him to sign a new deal but their efforts have yielded no results.

Ndiaye is insisting on an exit clause that could be triggered as early as this summer included in the new deal before reaching an agreement.

Spurs have been keeping tabs on the Toffees attacker since last year and could now make a concrete move in the coming days.
