Manchester City have identified Iliman Ndiaye as a potential target following the £75 million departure of Sávio to Tottenham. Everton values the wide forward at around £80 million, with the player contracted to the club until 2029.

Ndiaye has made 44 appearances for Senegal at international level. The 24-year-old has established himself as a key player for Everton in recent seasons.

City manager Enzo Maresca is an admirer of Ndiaye and is seeking to strengthen attacking options. The move comes as Omar Marmoush joins Tottenham on a season-long loan deal.
