Everton remain keen to keep Iliman Ndiaye at the club this summer following their poor end to the season.

Almost half of the clubs in the Premier League will be entering this summer’s transfer window with European football on offer.

David Moyes’ dismal end to the campaign may have made it more difficult for Everton to bring in players during the summer window.

Surely a player of his quality will want to showcase himself on the top stage 🤩

Everton remain reluctant to let Iliman Ndiaye leave this summer

Everton News reported late last year that Everton would consider offering Ndiaye a new deal over the coming 12 months.

Some may argue, with three years still on his deal, his recent displays may not have warranted a bumper new deal on Merseyside.

The Athletic highlights the Senegal international’s current commitment at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with his deal with Everton until 2029.

However, there is an expectation that clubs are going to show an interest in him over the coming months.

The question, therefore, shifts to whether Ndiaye believes Everton are doing enough to match his ambition.

Everton need to close the gap to European football

At the age of 26, Ndiaye may soon start to feel that he needs to make the leap in his career to play European football.

Ultimately, the Senegal international endured a poor end to the campaign, with zero goal contributions in any of Everton’s last seven games.

So, it has to be acknowledged that he had his role to play in the disappointing end to the term on Merseyside.

Taking to TalkingPoints, some Everton supporters criticised Ndiaye following the defeat against Sunderland.

Regardless of his poor end to the season, Ndiaye remains a key part of Everton’s future and will play a crucial role in pushing for Europe next season.

The worry will be whether he can buy into the vision on Merseyside.
