Everything Tottenham fans need to know about Iliman Ndiaye after transfer green light
Tottenham Hotspur are about to splash the cash on another attacking maverick in Everton's Iliman Ndiaye.
The North London outfit are working on a deal for the Senegal international after negotiating with the Toffees.
Having already signed Savio and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, the Lilywhites have no intention of stopping their summer spending spree for Roberto De Zerbi in the final third.
Ndiaye could be the next big signing for Spurs and he has shown enough quality at Everton to warrant a significant move.
Fans in N17 should be excited about the prospect of possibly witnessing the 26-year-old winger playing for them.

What Iliman Ndiaye will bring to Tottenham squad
Everton signed Ndiaye for an initial £15million fee from Olympique Marseille in 2024 and he has caught a lot of attention in the Premier League since.
The Senegal international had prior experience of English football before moving to the Toffees after playing for Sheffield United in the Championship.
Ndiaye has now proven himself to be a valuable asset at the Blues and will certainly be another big-money £60m addition to De Zerbi's squad.
Spurs fans can expect plenty of goal contributions from the right-footed winger, who scored six goals, provided three assists and created seven big opportunities in the Premier League last season, as per Sofascore.
The Senegalese attacker is a constant threat to opposition defences, averaging 0.9 key passes and completing 2.3 dribbles per game.
What supporters in N17 will arguably love most about Ndiaye is his willingness to put in a defensive shift, recording 2.2 tackles, 5.6 ball recoveries and winning six duels per game.
What Spurs transfer activity means for Mohammed Kudus
Over £300million has already been spent on seven permanent signings this summer and that doesn't include the £60m obligation to buy set in Marmoush's Tottenham loan deal.
Ndiaye certainly won't come cheap and the rebuild at Spurs has already seen them spend an astronomical figure.
The Senegalese winger can play comfortably on either wing, handing Mohammed Kudus more competition for his place in the team.
With the Ghana international only recently returning from injury, he will surely have an uphill battle to stake a claim once again in the starting lineup.
