The 26-year-old, hailed as ‘one of the best players in the Premier League’ by Jamie O’Hara this season, will have spent two years with Everton by the time the summer rolls around, and may decide that now, while his stocks are high and the interest is there, is the right time to explore a new venture.

Back in July 2023, the Toffees shelled out £15 million to add the Senegal international to their ranks from Olympique Marseille.

He has since proven to be a tremendous addition, particularly this campaign, when he has hugely benefited from the additions of Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

How Ndiaye has fared in recent years

Ndiaye has returned six goals and three assists in the 26 league matches he’s played in thus far, having missed a chunk of the term through his African Cup of Nations participation.

His most eye-catching and prolific form came when he was plying his trade for Sheffield United, where he scored 22 goals and contributed a further 14 assists in the 88 appearances he made across all competitions.

By the time the Blades were cornered into facilitating his departure, the Bramall Lane faithful were heartbroken to have to bid farewell to their talisman.

It remains to be seen what kind of fee Everton would demand for Ndiaye, as it’s safe to say they’ll be doing their utmost to convince him to stay put on Merseyside.
