Man City eye move for Tottenham target Iliman Ndiaye after Cody Gakpo deal collapses

Manchester City has reached out to Iliman Ndiaye's representatives in the hope of signing the Everton winger following the collapse of a deal for Cody Gakpo. The club was reportedly close to finalizing a £80 million offer for Liverpool's forward, but the Reds turned down the bid. Tottenham Hotspur also showed interest in Ndiaye, but the transfer stalled due to the absence of Richarlison.

The 25-year-old winger has impressed with six goals and three assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season, and his ability to play across the frontline makes him a versatile and dangerous option. Ndiaye's arrival comes at a crucial time for City, who are set to transition under new manager Enzo Maresca. The Italian tactician previously managed Ndiaye at Marseille, and his return might provide an ideal environment for the Senegal international to flourish.

City has already secured the signing of Palmeiras winger Allan for £34 million, who will likely replace Savio in the squad. The club is also pursuing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, whose transfer is complicated by the Blues' desire for a higher fee.
