  "account": "Iliman Ndiaye is firm on his decision to join Manchester City, stating \"you don’t say no\" when the club calls. The 26-year-old was ready to move from Everton to City on transfer deadline day for £60m and was immediately given the starting position in their lineup for a Premier League win against Coventry. When it seemed Ndiaye might sign with Tottenham, he remained calm, saying \"There was no stress or panicking.\" He expressed his excitement about the opportunity, saying it was always \"going to be City.\" Ndiaye had previously struggled to leave Everton, where he became a fan favorite for his skills and goals, despite the team's poor performance. He started his professional career in non-league football and had stints with Hyde United, Sheffield United, and Marseille before signing with Everton. Ndiaye sees his move to City as a significant step forward, praising the club's prestige, stadium, and fans.",
