After completing his move to Everton, Iliman Ndiaye who has played 20 times for his country, Senegal, said he joined the Premier League side due to their history.

“I’m so excited. I’ll be very proud to be part of the last season to play at Goodison Park, too.”

Everton’s director of football, Kevin Thelwell said: “Iliman is a player we have admired for a long time and we are delighted to bring a much sought-after player of his quality to Everton.

“We think he will excite Evertonians and give our attack a different dimension.”

The club’s coach, Sean Dyche added: “He is still young but has experience at European and international level and we feel he will be a really positive addition to our squad.”
