Manchester United has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Iliman Ndiaye, a highly in-form Premier League attacker.
On 12 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Manchester United has been reported as the leading contender to sign Iliman Ndiaye, Everton's winger, whose value is estimated around £70 million (approximately 2.9 billion baht).
The Senegal international has excelled with the "Toffees," drawing interest from several top clubs. This season, he has played 22 matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists.
Previously, reports indicated Ndiaye was on the radar of both Manchester United and Arsenal, and now there are developments about his future ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United appears to be the early favorite to secure the 25-year-old’s signature. However, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur remain competitors likely to vie for his transfer.
The deal for Iliman Ndiaye could be a smart reinforcement move for Manchester United.
Although United missed out on several transfers over the past decade, signs suggest their player recruitment is improving.
Last season, the "Red Devils" signed Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko as their new attacking trio, all of whom have performed well so far.
Especially Mbeumo, who has shown excellent form. Targeting a Premier League-proven attacker like Ndiaye could lead to similar success.
