The Senegal international has agreed to a five-year contract with the club after two productive seasons with Everton, during which he played 74 matches and netted 21 goals. City committed £60 million upfront, with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. The 26-year-old boasts extensive Premier League experience and can play either on the wing or through the middle, providing Enzo Maresca with a valuable versatile attacking option. Prior to his move to City, Ndiaye showcased his skills with Sheffield United during their 2022/23 promotion bid, scoring 15 goals and assisting 11 times in the Championship. He also had a season with Marseille before returning to England in 2024. Ndiaye has made 44 appearances for Senegal, participating in both the 2022 and 2026 World Cups, contributing with one goal and two assists in the latter tournament. The forward's signing bolsters City's attacking lineup, joining recent additions such as Savinho, who has moved to Tottenham Hotspur.",
