For once, Everton seem to be tying up their transfer business early in the window.
This summer has seen a noticeable shift from their typical scattergun transfer policy, which has seen ill-prepared players welcomed late into the market and an air of desperation in every transaction they make.
That is probably the result of Kevin Thelwell’s diligent planning; his months-long search for the ideal targets are now beginning to pay off.
particularly if they sign just one man, as all indications point to them doing.
Everton close in on Iliman Ndiaye transfer
The Daily Mail has the most recent information, stating that the Toffees are getting closer to making their most recent summer transfer.
Thelwell’s decision to conclude the club’s business ahead of schedule to allow for a complete preseason is so encouraging, and Evertonians will undoubtedly be captivated by the signing of Iliman Ndiaye.
Since his time at Sheffield United, the 24-year-old Senegal international has been a long-term target for the Goodison club, but he hasn’t been successful with Marseille.
“Everton has turned its attention to Ndiaye following a deadlock in negotiations for Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh.”
Ndiaye, who only joined Marseille last summer in a transfer that Paul Heckingbottom called a “dream,” would have made a stunning comeback in this situation.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also staying at Everton
Following a hectic day for the Toffees, it was also announced yesterday that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will not be joining Newcastle United after negotiations broke down between the two teams.
Sean Dyche’s side would have gained greatly from what they would have lost, even though his sale would have brought in a sizeable cash that would have undoubtedly entirely compensated PSR.
Particularly with Ndiaye arriving, who had the finest run of his short career with Oliver McBurnie, a formidable strike partner.
There, during his final year at Sheffield United, the Senegal international scored 14 and assisted 11 in the Championship as they stormed into the Premier League, with his silky and intelligent exploits pairing well with the aerial dominance of his teammate.
Calvert-Lewin, who ranks in the top 6% of strikers in Europe for aerials won per 90, is undoubtedly one of the best at holding up the play.
He scored seven goals in the league the previous season, but his best performance came in the 2019–20 campaign when he scored 13 goals with Richarlison as a strike partner.
From an attacking standpoint, it appears like Everton and this may be a match made in heaven.
