Man City agree £65m deal for Everton's Ndiaye

Manchester City have reached a deal worth up to £65 million to sign Everton's Senegal winger Iliman Ndiaye. The agreement includes a £60 million fee with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. Tottenham had also agreed terms with Everton for Ndiaye, but failed to secure the player after Richarlison decided against a return to his former club.

Richarlison, 26, made an emotional Instagram statement expressing his desire to remain with Tottenham. Despite recent turmoil in transfers, City's pursuit of Ndiaye comes after an £80 million bid for Liverpool's Cody Gakpo seemed to falter. Liverpool had planned to sell Gakpo if they could acquire a replacement, but are now expected to retain him unless they can finalize another winger before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
