Everton are currently throwing the kitchen sink at their fight against relegation from the Premier League, but there is a chance they could be playing football in the Championship next season.
The Toffees are currently 18th in the table, behind Leicester City on goal difference. But regardless of whether they managed to avoid the drop or not, the Merseyside outfit are in need of some new recruits to improve their current squad.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton are one of the clubs keeping an eye on Sheffield United’s Iliman Ndiaye, who is enjoying a strong season up front for the Blades.
Romano has said Ndiaye is expected to land “a big move” this summer, and there are already plenty of clubs monitoring his situation.
Everton are among those reportedly interested in acquiring the Senegal international’s services, along with a number of Italian clubs.
Ndiaye is a hugely popular figure at Sheffield United, having worked his way towards becoming a regular starter at Bramall Lane, and Paul Heckingbottom’s faith has paid off.
With 13 goals and eight assists in the Championship so far, the 23-year-old is the club’s leading goalscorer for the season. He has popped up with crucial winning goals against Bristol City, Reading, and most recently Wigan to give Sheffield United a big chance at securing promotion into the Premier League.
