Reports suggest Arsenal are planning a possible move for African player of the year nominee.
Arsenal keen on African Player of the Year nominee
Arsenal‘s scouts have their eyes on Iliman Ndiaye, as per reports. The Senegalese wonder kid who has established himself as an important player for Everton.
The young player has been in excellent form in the PL. But, he also has won praises for his bold attacking play since joining the club on the Merseyside last summer. Under David Moyes, he has been the one providing the creative spark for Everton’s attacks. He is showing stability and assurance in each game. His impact has been huge in ensuring that the team has the rhythm and structure that they need to attack in the last third.
Ex-football player and BBC analyst Pat Nevin has been very positive about Ndiaye lately. He is suggesting that the player is the one with the potential to be great at the top. Nevin thinks that the attacker could develop his skill if he is in a team that cares more about having the ball and dominating the attack.
Potential move could shape Gunnersā attack
Ndiayeās season stats highlight why he is attracting such attention. His stats, comprising three goals and an assist across all tournaments, signify a constant growth instead of spectacular performances.
The search for attacking reinforcements may lead Arsenal to make an offer for the player. Although, the club is expected to set a price that is much higher than the estimated £30m market value for their star player.
The CAF African Player of the Year nomination for the forward is one more sign of his rise. For the North London side, Ndiaye could be a player offering both a short-term benefit and the long-term investment.
Authorās opinion:
Ndiaye has both the patience and the talent for enjoying at Arsenal. In case the Gunners manage to get this deal done, it might be the one of the most clever offensive signings of the season.
