With the form that Iliman Ndiaye is in this season it is no surprise that the Senegalese international is attracting attention from various Premier League clubs.
However, United are refusing to sell the talented tricky forward this window as they chase down the league leaders Burnley, whilst growing the gap to the automatic promotion chasing pack.
Strong links have recently come out from respected journalist Alan Nixon stating that Everton are preparing a £22M bid to acquire Sheffield United’s star.
The internationally recognised football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that Sheffield United and Iliman Ndiaye have no plans to part ways this summer.
Ndiaye is in terrific form this season, he is already in double figures for goals and is very nearly in double figures in the assists column. Ndiaye has scored 10 times and assisted his teammates on 7 occasions. Altogether, Ndiaye has been directly involved in 35% of Sheffield United’s Championship goals.
The truth behind the Everton bid remains to be seen, but with Everton sacking Frank Lampard on Monday afternoon, I have doubts that Ndiaye will even be on their radar now.
It appears as though Iliman Ndiaye will remain with the Blades for the remainder of the season which will bring music to the ears of everyone who’s involved with Sheffield United Football Club.
Keeping Ndiaye at the club, with a 13pt gap to 3rd place, how much better could it get as a Blade? For United to fail to achieve promotion this season we would all have to witness the worst collapse in EFL Championship history.
