Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a sensational move for an Everton man, but bringing him through the door in January will not be straightforward.
With Spurs confirming Fabio Paratici and Johan Lange as their new sporting directors last week, work would already be underway at the club regarding their plans for the January window.
ENIC have injected funds of £100m into Tottenham, and Spurs fans will be hoping that the cash injection will enable the Lilywhites to flex their financial muscle.
It has now emerged that the North London club are turning to a versatile attacker, who has made an exceptional start to the new Premier League campaign.
Tottenham plotting move for Everton star Iliman Ndiaye in January
TEAMtalk claims that Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye has emerged as a surprise January target for the Lilywhites.
Since joining the Toffees for £15m in the summer of 2024, Ndiaye has gone from strength to strength at Goodison Park, and he is now one of their main men in attack, having scored three goals and provided an assist this season.
The 25-year-old’s impressive performances have reportedly caught the eye of several clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, who want to bolster their attack and see the Everton man as a versatile asset who can operate in multiple positions.
However, bringing the former Marseille man to N17 will certainly not be an easy task for Thomas Frank’s men.
How much are Everton demanding for Spurs target Iliman Ndiaye?
TEAMtalk say that David Moyes’ men are determined to retain all their key players in January as they aim to make a push for European qualification this season.
It is alleged that it would take an offer of over £60m to even bring Everton to the negotiating table for the winger.
Additionally, the publication reveals that Ndiaye is also on the radars of Newcastle United, while Juventus, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid are also monitoring his progress.
