Transfer interest follows a rollercoaster match that saw a last-gasp goal secure three vital points against Leeds.
Fresh off a heart-stopping 3-2 victory over Leeds United, Manchester City is already looking to the future, with reports emerging that the club is targeting Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye in the upcoming January transfer window.
The news comes after a dramatic afternoon at the Etihad Stadium that saw Phil Foden play the hero. The match began in perfect fashion for the hosts, with Foden scoring inside the first minute and defender Josko Gvardiol adding a second goal to seemingly put City in control.
However, the game turned into a nail-biter after halftime. Leeds fought back fiercely, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring just four minutes into the second half before Lukas Nmecha stunned the home crowd with a 2-2 equalizer. Just when a draw seemed inevitable, Foden stepped up again in stoppage time, firing home a dramatic winner to secure three vital points for City.
The victory, which propelled City into second place in the league, appears to have accelerated the club’s transfer plans. According to reports from Foot Mercato, City are among a group of top clubs, including Tottenham and Liverpool, who are keeping a close watch on Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye.
The 25-year-old Senegalese forward only joined Everton in the summer of 2024 but has quickly become a key player. Despite Everton’s mid-table position, Ndiaye has impressed, scoring four goals and providing one assist so far this season, building on a solid first year in Merseyside.
With the January window approaching, it seems City is keen to add more firepower to its attack, and Ndiaye has been identified as a potential target to bolster their squad for the second half of the campaign.
