Tottenham agree Ndiaye deal as Richarlison nears Everton return

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement to sign Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye, with striker Richarlison poised to return to the Merseyside club in a separate transfer. The deals, confirmed by sources at both clubs, come as the Premier League transfer window closes on Tuesday, September 1. The move for Ndiaye, 26, represents a swift pivot by Tottenham after their interest in Liverpool's Cody Gakpo shifted to Manchester City. Everton had been in advanced talks to sell Ndiaye to City in a package worth around £80 million that would have included Jack Grealish, but that arrangement collapsed following City's pursuit of Gakpo.
