Softfootball has gathered that Iliman Ndiaye has accepted Tottenham Hotspur’s contract proposal and is ready to join Roberto De Zerbi’s project in North London.
The 26-year-old Senegalese forward has given the green light to the move, with Tottenham now working to complete the remaining steps of the transfer. Ndiaye’s potential arrival would provide another attacking option for De Zerbi as Spurs continue reshaping their squad ahead of the new season.
Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille in 2024 and has since made 73 appearances for the Toffees, scoring 17 goals. His versatility, pace and ability to operate across the forward line have made him an attractive target for Tottenham, while Al Hilal have also previously shown interest in the Senegal international.
The proposed move is connected to a potential deal involving Richarlison, although the two transfers are being treated as separate negotiations.
Tottenham are hoping Richarlison will agree to return to Everton, his former club, which could help facilitate further changes to both clubs’ attacking departments.
Ndiaye’s decision to accept Tottenham’s proposal represents an important step forward, but the transfer still requires the clubs to finalize the necessary details before it can be completed.
De Zerbi has been working to build a more dynamic Tottenham attack since taking charge in March 2026, and Ndiaye’s versatility could prove valuable within his system.
For Ndiaye, a move to Tottenham would represent a new challenge after two seasons at Everton and an opportunity to work under De Zerbi at a club undergoing significant attacking changes.
With the player now in agreement on personal terms, attention turns to the final stages of negotiations as Tottenham look to bring Ndiaye to North London.
