When Man City call you don't say no - Ndiaye

Iliman Ndiaye, a 26-year-old footballer, expressed his unwavering loyalty to Manchester City when they approached him. During his debut for the club against Coventry, he made eight successful dribbles, surpassing any other player on his first day. Ndiaye's decision to join City on transfer deadline day for a staggering £60 million came despite Tottenham Hotspur also being interested in signing him.

The young player had previously played for various clubs, including Everton, where he scored 17 goals over two seasons. However, Ndiaye was adamant about playing in the Champions League, a league he felt he belonged in. Despite the difficulty of leaving Everton, where he had built a strong connection with fans and fellow players, Ndiaye knew that joining Manchester City was the right move.

He emphasized that when Manchester City comes calling, he doesn't say no, as it represents the pinnacle of football for him.
