Marseille forward Iliman Ndiaye is a target for a number of Premier League clubs in January, including Sean Dyche’s Everton.

Ndiaye ended up leaving Sheffield United in the summer for Marseille after helping the Blades to promotion back to the Premier League.

However, he has since struggled for his boyhood club and has struggled for regular minutes. He was also sent off recently and was involved in an ugly scene with Gennaro Gattuso.

And according to a report from The Sun, Everton and Crystal Palace – along with former club United – want to bring Ndiaye back to England in January.

Everton looking to sign Iliman Ndiaye again

Ndiaye cost Marseille around £20m when he left in the summer but so far, he’s looked a shadow of the player he was at Bramall Lane.

That has now led to Premier League sides watching Ndiaye’s situation and Everton are in the mix.

The Toffees are no strangers to Ndiaye and even tried to sign him from Sheffield United back in January.

Back then, the Senegal forward remained with the Blades and ended up guiding them to promotion with an impressive 14 goals and double figures in assists as well.

But the ‘incredible‘ Ndiaye’s time in France has not gone to plan and he could be on the move.

Everton could look to try and facilitate a loan deal for Ndiaye as the club look to keep backing Sean Dyche and throwing their weight behind him.

Dyche has masterminded a brilliant run of form for the Toffees off the back of their 10 point deduction which has seen them climb comfortably clear of the relegation zone.

Adding a player like Ndiaye would only give them added firepower as they look to continue their fine form.

Should Ndiaye end up joining Everton, he’d go in alongside another Sheffield United academy product in the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
