Man City sign Ndiaye from Everton for £65m

Manchester City completed the signing of Senegal winger Iliman Ndiaye from Everton on September 1, 2026, the final day of the summer transfer window, in a deal worth an initial £60 million with up to £5 million in add-ons. The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League club, ending speculation that had linked him with a move to Tottenham. Ndiaye described the transfer as the chance of a lifetime. "I've worked my whole life for an opportunity like this," he said. "City are one of the best clubs in the world and I've seen them win everything as I've grown up. To be able to write my own chapter in a story that special is the chance of a lifetime and I'm determined to grab it with both hands." He added that the decision to join City was straightforward. "It's easy to make the decision about whether you want to be at Manchester City or not. You can see the recent history, you want to be part of that project." The move represents a significant rise for Ndiaye, who was playing Sunday league football in London as a teenager before a trial with Sheffield United led to his professional debut in the seventh tier of English football.
