Tottenham Hotspur Are Eyeing A January Move For This Everton Winger: Good Fit For Frank? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a January move for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye. It has been mentioned that Spurs are eager to get a deal done for the Senegalese wide player in this winter transfer window.

Ndiaye’s Impressive Form In The Premier League

Ndiaye is having an impressive campaign at the Merseyside club as he has put in a string of productive displays for them in the Premier League. The Senegalese talent has made 11 league appearances for the Toffees this season, scoring four goals and securing one assist in various competitions.

The 25-year-old has caught the eye at times in the wide areas and has done well to average 1.09 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He has kept 63.6% of his attempts on target. Ndiaye has even distributed the ball relatively well after completing 78.1% of his attempted passes in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at Everton will run out in the summer of 2029. Hence, Spurs would find it difficult to sign him on a cut-price deal next year.

Will Ndiaye Be A Good Fit For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank?

Ndiaye is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to engineer some inviting chances for his teammates in the final third and can strike the ball with venom from long range.

The Senegalese sensation is primarily a right-winger but can also operate as a left-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if told to do so. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won’t take much time to settle into life at Tottenham.

We can expect Ndiaye to bring more quality and depth to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s frontline. He has what it takes to compete for a regular starting spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

At 25, Ndiaye has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a good fit for Spurs to pursue in the long run. He will also help the London giants compete across all fronts in the coming seasons. Therefore, Frank should focus on getting him on board in 2026.
