Al Hilal targets Iliman Ndiaye for £64m transfer from Everton

Al Hilal has initiated talks with Everton regarding a transfer for forward Iliman Ndiaye, with a fee around £64 million reportedly agreed. The 26-year-old Senegal international is open to the move, which follows Al Hilal's recent acquisition of Crysencio Summerville. Ndiaye, whose contributions include six goals and three assists last season, is seen as vital to Everton's attacking strategy. The deal has financial implications for Everton, who need to address their Squad Cost Ratio and have already invested in new players. Identifying a suitable replacement for Ndiaye is crucial before any transaction is finalized.
