Iliman Ndiaye: Everton’s Senegalese Winger Targeted by Saudi Pro League Side Al-Hilal

Everton’s Senegalese right winger Iliman Ndiaye is the subject of transfer interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, with the Gulf side exploring a move for the 26-year-old despite his long-term contract at Goodison Park.

Ndiaye, who holds both Senegalese and French nationality, joined Everton in July 2024 and is tied to the Premier League club until 30 June 2029. His current market valuation stands at around €55 million, a figure that is likely to frame any negotiations, with Everton under no immediate pressure to sell given the length of his deal.

Al-Hilal’s interest comes on the back of Ndiaye’s displays on the international stage this year. Featuring at the 2026 World Cup, he made three appearances, contributing one goal and two assists, directly involved in 30% of his side’s goals while on the pitch. That output has underlined his attacking impact in a relatively short amount of game time and added to his profile among recruitment departments outside Europe.

Born in Rouen and operating primarily as a right-sided attacker, Ndiaye wears the number 10 shirt for Everton and is regarded as a central part of the club’s forward options going into the new season. Any move to prise him away would therefore represent a significant statement from Al-Hilal and a major decision for Everton’s hierarchy, mindful of both his age and contractual security.

For now, Ndiaye remains an Everton player under contract until 2029, with Al-Hilal monitoring the situation as they assess whether to turn their interest into a formal bid.
