Everton has finally signed Iliman Ndiaye from Marseille. Ndiaye is Sheffield United’s former forward. While playing for Sheffield United he scored 14 goals and 11 assists in the 2022/23 season. He was a major contributor to promoting the United to the Premier League.
Everton agreed to a five-year contract with the forward. He is the third player to be signed this summer. The other two players who have joined the Toffees are Jack Harrison, who was away on loan playing for Leeds United, and Tim Iroegbunam who played as a central midfielder for Aston Villa.
Even though Ndiaye faced challenges last season when playing for Marseille for Everton, he was worth every coin. He only scored four goals in 46 game appearances. This is quite remarkable, considering they had four different coaches.
Everton Signs Iliman Ndiaye
In his interview on Everton’s Official YouTube Channel, Iliman Ndiaye said,
I am so pleased to be an Everton player. The main reasons I wanted to join were how big the club is, its history and the part I can play in helping the team in the forward direction it is going in. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get going.
Kevin [Thelwell] and the manager both spoke to me and made me feel wanted. My Senegal teammate Idrissa also played a part and spoke highly of the Club and a lot of good things.
As a player, I like to dribble, show skills and get the fans out their seats. I want to score goals and get assists but I also like to work hard. I love running, chasing the ball, getting the team high up the pitch. As a striker, you’re the first defender. I love doing that bit.
I’m so excited. I want to come in and carry on from the team’s progress last season. I feel like I’ll be ready to help and I just want to give it my all to get this club higher up the table.
