Everton are edging closer to signing Iliman Ndiaye from Marseille, the French media says.
FootMercato today writes that the clubs are about to reach a ‘total agreement’ for the 24-year-old.
It’s said Everton had already made a first attempt earlier this month, and that was turned down by Marseille. Now they’re back with a new offer and that’s about to provide a happy ending.
The outlet claims there are still some details to be sorted between Everton and Marseille, but ‘barring a huge twist’, the player is joining the Toffees this summer and has given his approval to the move.
Ndiaye making a return to English football, after last he fought with Sheffield United to be allowed a €17m move to Marseille.
The report claims that Everton had already been interested back then, with him choosing the French club instead. Now with a little insistence, the Toffees are finally about to bring him to Goodison Park.
