BBC pundit thinks one Everton star could play for Arsenal, refuses to back Liverpool move

Everton may have lost to Manchester City on Saturday afternoon, but Iliman Ndiaye has commanded major praise.

 

Erling Haaland downed Everton with two goals as Manchester City beat Everton 2-0 over the weekend.

The Norwegian hitman bagged the goals, but Everton star Iliman Ndiaye has arguably grabbed even more attention.

 

Ndiaye dazzled David Moyes with an impressive display at the Etihad Stadium, terrorising City defenders throughout.

 

The Senegal ace is taking his game to another level this season and is earning deserved credit – even if it may concern Everton fans.

Ndiaye’s technical quality and his ability to dance past defenders will always stand out and make him an Everton fan favourite.

 

Unfortunately, that quality is also bound to attract admiring glances from elsewhere.

 

Pundit Pat Nevin hailed Ndiaye over the weekend and has now doubled down on his praise for the Everton star.

Nevin has told BBC Sport that he thinks Ndiaye could easily play for Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City.

 

The former Everton man hopes to see Ndiaye stay put, but believes ‘bigger boys’ will be making bids very soon.

 

However, Nevin is not backing Ndiaye for a move to Merseyside rivals Liverpool, joking that he would have an ‘Evertonian lynch mob’ on his case if he dared to suggest a switch to Anfield.

However, Nevin is not backing Ndiaye for a move to Merseyside rivals Liverpool, joking that he would have an ‘Evertonian lynch mob’ on his case if he dared to suggest a switch to Anfield.

“I often think of players who would be even more impressive playing with better sides, teams who have more of the ball and spend more time in the attacking third,” said Nevin.

“Watching Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye so far this season, I suspect he could do a phenomenal job if he was playing for Manchester City, Chelsea or Arsenal, he is that good. I hope he stays at the Toffees, but they might have to fight off bids from the bigger boys soon. Notice I don’t mention Liverpool in the shortlist.

“‌This is not because he isn’t capable, but I would rightly have an Evertonian lynch mob after me if I suggested such a thing!” he added.

Ndiaye has made an impact in many different positions for Everton and may well have admirers around Europe.
