Manchester City have agreed to pay £65 million for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye, with £60 million due upfront and a further £5 million available in bonuses.
The 26-year-old Senegal international was also linked with Tottenham, but City won the race for his signature. He is expected to complete a medical before the transfer window closes.
City turned to Ndiaye after their interest in Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo failed to produce a deal. Liverpool declined to release Gakpo late in the transfer window, prompting the club to redirect its attention to Everton’s winger.
Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille for £15 million two years ago and scored six goals for David Moyes’ team last season. His move to City is expected to follow the club’s £34.2 million signing of Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras.
If completed, Ndiaye will be City’s fourth high-profile signing since the end of last season, following Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Allan.
