Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing the Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye.
The 26-year-old Senegal International has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club, and Arsenal have made it a priority to bring in a wide forward this summer, according to the Independent.
They have also been linked with players like Bradley Barcola and Vinicius Junior. It remains to be seen whether they can convince Everton to sell the African attacker.
Arsenal eyeing Iliman Ndiaye
Ndiaye has done quite well for Everton since he moved to the Premier League, and he has the quality to help Arsenal in the final third as well. The Gunners have signed Greek international Christos Tzolis earlier this summer, but they need more depth in the attacking unit.
Leandro Trossard has left the club, and Gabriel Martinelli has been inconsistent. Bukayo Saka is the only reliable player at the club right now. Noni Madueke has struggled with his end product as well.
Meanwhile, Everton will not want to lose a key player like Ndiaye any time soon. The attacker has also been linked with Saudi Arabian clubs. Arsenal will have to come forward with a substantial offer in order to sign the 26-year-old.
Ndiaye has also been linked with Manchester United.

Ndiaye could be tempted to join
The opportunity to play for the Premier League champions could be exciting for the Senegal international, and it would be a huge step up in his career. He would get to play in the Champions League and fight for major trophies with them. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal is prepared to pay a premium for him.
Ndiaye is likely to be a cheaper alternative to players like Barcola this summer. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
