Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the growing list of clubs interested in signing Everton midfielder Iliman Ndiaye.

The Senegal international has had a brilliant impact since joining Everton from Marseille in 2024. Ndiaye scored 11 goals in all competitions during an impressive debut year with Everton and has opened the new season in similar form.

He has netted four times in 10 league appearances, while Ndiaye also ranks among the Premier League’s top performers for expected assists (3rd), successful take-ons (3rd), tackles won (8th) and progressive carries (9th).

TEAMtalk are reporting that Newcastle and Spurs are both interested in a potential deal. Everton are under no pressure to sell, however, with Ndiaye contracted until 2029.

Potential January interest is also set to be complicated by Ndiaye’s involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations, which runs from December 21st 2025 to January 18th 2026.

In addition to Premier League admirers, Ndiaye is also attracting interest from Europe. AC Milan, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are all tracking his progress.
