Al Hilal 'to push for' Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye | OneFootball

Al Hilal are pressing ahead with their attacking recruitment after the Crysencio Summerville deal. Marca reports that the Saudi club are pushing to sign Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye.

Their priority is a wide forward who can add final-third solutions, and they view the Senegal international as a strong fit for next season. Whether a transfer happens will depend on Everton’s stance and the financial terms.

An earlier report indicated Ndiaye is open to a move to the Saudi league following initial talks between the club’s representatives and his agents.

Ndiaye’s appeal lies in his versatility. He can play on either flank, drift beyond the striker or act as a roaming forward, giving Italian coach Simone Inzaghi in-game flexibility.

If completed, the deal could see Ndiaye on the right with Summerville on the left, the pair free to switch and unsettle defences.

Beyond dribbling, he reads the game well, creates chances and can thread passes between the lines, operating as an advanced playmaker who also threatens goals.

He is dangerous in transition, his speed and movement into space fitting Inzaghi’s preference for quick counters.

Across his career, Ndiaye has made 214 appearances in all competitions, scoring 44 goals and supplying 23 assists, a total of 67 goal contributions.
