The Everton star is open to a move to Arsenal it has been reported as agents hold talks

Everton face an important summer as David Moyes prepares for his second full season in charge and looks to build on the progress made in the club’s first year at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Toffees have already been linked with a number of potential arrivals in recent days.

Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney continues to be a player of interest to Everton recruits, with reports suggesting the club remain keen on bringing the England Under-21 international to Merseyside.

Hackney is also believed to be heavily attracted to the idea of ​​joining Everton.

Strengthening the defense is also being considered, with City duo Nathan Ake and John Stones both linked with possible moves, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka has emerged as another name under consideration as Moyes looks to address his options at right-back.

Those rumors point to a club focused on consolidation rather than rebuilding.

After settling comfortably in the Premier League midfield and avoiding the struggles seen in previous campaigns, Everton’s attentions now take another step forward.

However, while much of the focus has been on the transfer of incoming players, questions have started to arise over the future of one of the attacking players in the strong squad.

Iliman Ndiaye is open to leaving Everton and Arsenal have been informed

According to TEAMtalk’s Graeme Bailey, Iliman Ndiaye is open to leaving Everton amid uncertainty over his contract situation.

The report says that several clubs have been informed of the Senegalese player’s availability in case negotiations fail to bring success.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City are said to have been informed of the situation, while Ndiaye’s representatives have also held discussions with European teams.

That development has the potential to be one of Everton’s biggest stories of the summer.

Ndiaye has established himself as a key figure under Moyes, providing creativity, energy and uncertainty in the final third. His ability to handle the ball under pressure and create chances made him one of Everton’s attacking players last season.

The report suggests that the uncertainty stems from ongoing negotiations over a new contract.

Although Everton would like to secure Ndiaye’s long-term future, TT say progress has not been straightforward, with the player ready to consider other options after a good season personally.

That has attracted attention elsewhere.

The fact that European clubs are also involved increases the level of competition Everton could face if the situation continues.

In Moyes’ view, keeping the striker will likely be a priority.

The Everton manager is trying to move on after a good campaign, and the loss of one of the club’s best players will pose a huge challenge heading into the new season.

The club’s transfer plans seem to be aimed at strengthening the core of the existing squad rather than replacing key players. That is why the coming weeks can be important.

If Everton can agree a deal with Ndiaye, it will remove a lot of uncertainty and allow Moyes to focus entirely on recruitment. If not, the club could find themselves facing increasing interest from other big clubs in England and beyond.

That said, Bailey also says Moyes’ side are relaxed about the situation and feel in control, with Ndiaye currently under contract until 2029.
