Tottenham are locking horns with Manchester City to secure the signing of Everton's Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye before the summer transfer window slams shut. This news comes from French outlet Foot Mercato.
The North Londoners see the 26-year-old Senegal international as a viable alternative to bolster their attacking options, should their primary target — Folarin Balogun — slip through their fingers. In a potential twist, Tottenham may send Brazilian striker Richarlison back to Everton as part of a deal.
Meanwhile, Manchester City remain intent on landing the player. Talks between the champions and Ndiaye's representatives are reportedly progressing positively. In addition, City are also exploring an exchange deal, with Jack Grealish keen on a return to Merseyside, whether on loan or as a full transfer.
