Everton They are approaching the signing of Marseille winger Iliman Ndiaye after reaching an agreement with the French club, according to reports foot market.
The 24-year-old lit up the English Championship in the 2022-23 season with notable performances, scoring 25 goals for Sheffield United.
According foot marketEverton and Marseille showed interest in Ndiaye last summer before the difficult winger opted for a €20m (£16m) move to the Ligue 1 side.
The report adds that the Toffees have now repositioned themselves to complete a raid for the Senegal international, having renewed their interest in the winger this month.
Everton have made their first offer to Marseille for Ndiaye and both clubs are close to reaching an agreement. However, there are a few more details that need to be resolved for the transfer It is nearing completion and, if all goes to plan, the 24-year-old could return to England just a year after his departure, according to the report.
Everton closes in on Ndiaye transfer
The Toffees are aiming for a more positive and competitive season with fewer controversies.
They have already secured the signings of Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds United and Tim Iroegbunam on permanent loan from Aston Villa.
Adding an attacker capable of providing double figures in goals and assists would be a big deal for the Toffees, who will hope to avoid another relegation fight next season.
Dyche's team only scored 40 goals all season, the lowest figure in the league after Sheffield United with 35.
Strengthening their attacking ranks with a player with immense qualities like Ndiaye would make Everton improve their goal tally.
The Senegalese is an attacking force who can combine pace and guile with creativity. While he possesses an instinctive finish, he also has an eye for passes that create scoring opportunities for his teammates, a trait Dyche desperately needs on his team.
If they can make this proposed deal happen, Everton will hope Ndiaye's inclusion will guide the team to a positive start to the season when they begin their league campaign at home to Brighton and Hove Albion on August 17.
