Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye has shared his thoughts on recent transfer talk linking him with a move to Inter Milan. The Senegal international responded positively, seeing the interest from the Italian club as a compliment to his good performance on the field.
After a strong first season at Everton, where he scored 11 goals in 37 matches, Ndiaye became a subject of transfer interest. It was reported that Inter Milan made an enquiry valued at around £40 million, which Everton quickly turned down. For Ndiaye, such attention from a major club confirms that he is performing well and making an impact.
👍 A Sign of Good Performance
Ndiaye explained that while he heard the rumours, his focus remains with Everton. He said, “If there are rumours or interest like that, it must mean you’re doing something right, right?” He views the speculation not as a distraction, but as a positive sign of his progress and contributions to the team since arriving on Merseyside.
🔵 Committed to Everton’s Future
The 25-year-old forward made it clear that he is happy at his current club and excited about what’s ahead. “I was always very keen to stay here and be part of this new chapter for Everton,” he stated. Ndiaye mentioned the club’s new project, including the new stadium and ownership, as key reasons for his commitment to stay and grow with the team.
🏆 Ambition to Win Trophies
Looking forward, Ndiaye has big goals with Everton. He expressed a strong desire to help the club win trophies, something it hasn’t achieved in three decades. “I want to achieve things with Everton, I want to win trophies,” he shared. This personal ambition aligns with the club’s goals under manager David Moyes, and achieving success could be important for keeping talented players like Ndiaye for the long term.
