Iliman Ndiaye squad number confirmed

Manchester City has confirmed that new signing Iliman Ndiaye will be taking up squad number 7. The Senegalese winger, who joined the club from Everton on transfer deadline day, has signed a five-year contract at the Premier League giants.

Ndiaye follows in the footsteps of several illustrious former City players who have worn the number 7 shirt. Among them are the likes of Raheem Sterling, Stephen Ireland, Paul Dickov, and Peter Barnes, among others. Prior to Ndiaye, the number was donned by Omar Marmoush before his loan move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 26-year-old Ndiaye has emerged as one of the most dynamic and exciting attacking talents in recent seasons at the Etihad Stadium. His transfer has been met with enthusiasm by City fans, many of whom can now purchase their own Ndiaye #7 shirt from the club's online store or at their Stadium, Arndale, or Trafford Centre stores.
