Arsenal and City pursue Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye amid Zirkzee talks

Arsenal and Manchester City are showing interest in a late transfer deal for Iliman Ndiaye of Everton. The Toffees reportedly value Ndiaye at £80 million this summer. Manchester United may look to acquire him if Joshua Zirkzee leaves; Zirkzee is believed to be seeking more playing time elsewhere. Ndiaye has performed well, contributing to Everton's recent 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and tallying 17 goals and four assists since joining from Olympique de Marseille in July 2024. Everton is also mentioned as a possible destination for Zirkzee, which could facilitate Ndiaye's potential move to United.
