English competition to sign Iliman Ndiaye

Manchester City and Arsenal have entered the race to sign Senegalese striker Iliman Ndiaye from Everton during the current summer transfer window, aiming to strengthen their attacking options.

According to talkSPORT, Everton have set their financial demands at £80 million for the transfer of the player, as the club remains keen on retaining the services of the Senegalese international.

Ndiaye rejected a contract renewal offer from Everton earlier this summer, opening the door for a potential departure from the club, despite being under contract until 2029.

Arsenal are considering Iliman Ndiaye as one of their attacking options, but Argentine striker Julián Álvarez, of Atlético Madrid, remains the London club's dream target. This makes the Ndiaye deal largely dependent on Arsenal's pursuit of Álvarez.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are keeping an eye on the situation of the Senegalese player, as the club aims to enhance their attacking options before the transfer window closes.

Iliman Ndiaye's future could see new developments in the final days of the transfer market, especially with interest from both sides of the Premier League and Everton's insistence on receiving £80 million for his departure.
