Tottenham: Ndiaye gives green light for explosive transfer

Iliman Ndiaye, the 26-year-old Senegalese international striker, has agreed to Tottenham Hotspur's contract proposal for the upcoming season. According to Fabrizio Romano, the player is set to join the Spurs under Roberto De Zerbi. The London club aims to strengthen its attacking sector, despite recent signings of Savio and Omar Marmoush.

A decisive green light for the Tottenham project

Ndiaye's transfer now hinges on Richarlison's acceptance of a return to Everton. Spurs are ready to finalize a swap deal. Fabrizio Romano confirmed on X: "Iliman Ndiaye has given the green light to Tottenham's contract proposal, ready to join the Spurs project under Roberto De Zerbi. The deal now depends on Richarlison's acceptance of a return to Everton, as the club is ready to conclude the swap." Ndiaye, who has been on the rise at Everton since his arrival, could bring technical skill and unpredictability to the penalty area. Richarlison, meanwhile, shone in the colors of the Toffees, and a return to his former club could offer him more playing time than at Tottenham this season.

A profile tailored for Spurs' ambitions

At 26, Ndiaye is at the peak of his career and sees Tottenham as the ideal opportunity to take on a new challenge. The London club, now stronger in midfield and defense, is banking on an offensive boost to target trophies in the coming seasons. "They've done well to improve the midfield and defense this summer, and now they're looking to wrap up the window by strengthening the attack," Romano analyzes. If Spurs manage to finalize this swap before the transfer window closes, the summer of 2026 could prove particularly fruitful for De Zerbi and his players. A double-edged move where every detail counts to avoid a failure like the season opener against Newcastle Tottenham humiliated by Newcastle on season opener.

A winning duo for Everton and Tottenham

Richarlison, back at Everton, would reportedly take on a central role in a team where he has already proven his effectiveness. "He played his best football at Everton, and a return could be ideal for him," the expert points out. At Tottenham, despite a strengthened squad, his playing time prospects would remain limited, an unenviable situation for a player seeking consistency. Ndiaye, on the other hand, would represent an ambitious offensive solution for Spurs. His technical profile and ability to create the unexpected in the box could make the difference against defenses as solid as Arsenal's or Liverpool's. "Tottenham is a stronger club than Everton today, with more chances to compete for titles," Romano reminds us. An analysis that could motivate the Senegalese to make the move. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs will reach an agreement before the transfer deadline. A deal that, if finalized, could reshape the balance of the English league in the coming months.
