Euro 2024, Champions League, and World Cup Updates in Football News
Everton have agreed a fee with Marseille for ex-Sheffield United forward Iliman Ndiaye, while Sky in Germany is reporting Bayern Munich have an interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.
The Toffees have moved a step closer to signing Ndiaye after agreeing a five-year contract with the Senegal international. The 24-year-old joined Marseille from Sheff Utd last summer in a reported £20m deal but has failed to make an impact for the Ligue 1 side, scoring just four goals in 46 appearances in all competitions last season. Sean Dyche’s side will be hoping Ndiaye can replicate his form from his time at Sheff Utd, where he scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists as the Blades earned promotion to the Premier League.
Ndiaye could become Everton’s third summer signing after the arrivals of Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa and Leeds’ Jack Harrison on loan.
Everton’s move for Ndiaye comes amid interest from Bayern Munich in Toffees midfielder Amadou Onana. Sky Sports News understands the 22-year-old is expected to leave Goodison Park this summer and is valued at around £50m. Onana joined Everton from Lille in August 2022 for £33m and has since been a key player for the Merseyside club, making 63 Premier League appearances. The Belgium international has also started both games at Euro 2024 for the Red Devils.
In other news, Ashley Young has signed a one-year contract extension at Everton, keeping him at the club until the end of June 2025. The 38-year-old, who was Dyche’s first signing as Everton boss last summer, made 34 appearances in all competitions last season.
Additionally, Jack Harrison has rejoined Everton on a season-long loan from Leeds. The 27-year-old winger spent last season on loan at Goodison Park and is excited to get started again with a full pre-season of training.
The 2024 summer transfer window in the Premier League and Scottish Premiership is officially open and will close on August 30 at 11pm UK time in England and 11.30pm in Scotland.
