Iliman Ndiaye transfer news: Man City complete £65m deal for Everton winger as Cody Gakpo alternative | Football News



Manchester City have confirmed the £65m signing of winger Iliman Ndiaye.

The deal comprises a £60m guaranteed payment plus £5m in bonuses.

Ndiaye has signed a five-year contract at Man City.

The 26-year-old’s arrival comes after Liverpool rejected City’s £80m bid for Cody Gakpo.

Sky Sports News understands Liverpool were concerned about their chances of bringing in a replacement for the Dutchman.

City wanted to sign a wide forward and a central midfielder before the window closes, with the club agreeing a joint-British record deal for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez on Deadline Day.

City allowed Savio and Omar Marmoush to join Tottenham earlier this month, reducing Enzo Maresca’s options on the wing.

City did not name a winger on their bench in Friday’s win over Crystal Palace and started with Phil Foden – who Enzo Maresca admitted is not a winger – out wide at Selhurst Park.
