When Man City call you don't say no - Ndiaye
New £60m Manchester City signing Iliman Ndiaye says playing in the Champions League is where he belongs.
When Manchester City reaches out, Iliman Ndiaye reminds us, "You don't say no." The 26-year-old decided to make the £60m transfer from Everton to City on deadline day and has been an instant starter in his new team's lineup after a 1-0 Premier League win over Coventry. Ndiaye faced a brief moment of indecision, as Tottenham had also shown interest, but he remains unflinching in his choice.
"I always say whatever comes, comes. God decides your future - it is already written. I was just being patient and when City came through, I was buzzing," he explains. Champions League football has always been his ultimate goal, and he sees City as the team to fulfill that dream. Though his two-season stint at Everton ended with the club in the lower half of the table, Ndiaye still cherishes the time he spent there, praising both the fans and the club.
He emphasizes that moving on is a part of football and that he is excited about the challenge ahead at Manchester City, a club he considers the epitome of football excellence.
