The Senegal international is poised to undergo a medical after a fee of \u00a360m plus \u00a35m in add-ons was agreed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/everton\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everton<\/a>, who have little time to find a replacement for one of their most important players before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">It had seemed that Ndiaye would move to Spurs after they agreed a deal in principle with Everton on Sunday. Richarlison was poised to move in the opposite direction but that transfer stalled on Monday. Richarlison released an emotional statement on social media and said that he would not allow his future to be decided for him. The Brazilian is cool on a move to Everton and is expected to stay at Spurs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">City registered their interest in Ndiaye last week and moved in after Liverpool pulled out of an \u00a385m deal for Gakpo. Spurs have moved on and agreed to sign Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/chelsea\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The Ukraine winger, who is free to play again after his doping ban was resolved this summer, played for Roberto De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk and favoured a reunion with the Tottenham manager after Leeds and Brentford also contacted Chelsea about him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Spurs have also agreed a deal to sign Chelsea\u2019s defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a permanent deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Chelsea are poised for a busy end to the window and have finally been contacted by City about Fern\u00e1ndez. The Argentina midfielder wants to leave and has his heart set on a move to City. Fern\u00e1ndez has a close relationship with City\u2019s manager, Enzo Maresca, who left Chelsea this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Chelsea <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2026\/aug\/13\/manchester-city-barcelona-rodri-chelsea-enzo-fernandez\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">set a price of \u00a3120m for Fern\u00e1ndez this summer<\/a> and may push for a higher fee with the deadline drawing close. Another consideration for the Stamford Bridge club as they face up to losing one of their biggest players is the need to improve their squad.<\/p>\n<p><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-9\" class=\"dcr-76akua\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a>Free newsletter | Every weekday<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-vf9hps\">Sign up to Football Daily<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1r7my33\">Kick off your evenings with the Guardian&#8217;s take on the world of football<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1788235337_954_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"dcr-xiq31o\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"EmailSignup-skip-link-9\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"after newsletter promotion\" role=\"note\" class=\"dcr-76akua\">after newsletter promotion<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Chelsea have sounded out Roma\u2019s Manu Kon\u00e9 and Monaco\u2019s Lamine Camara as potential replacements for Fern\u00e1ndez. They have been met with resistance in attempts to sign Bournemouth\u2019s Alex Scott while Crystal Palace want to keep Adam Wharton. Chelsea are tracking Morgan Gibbs\u2011White but know Nottingham Forest are unlikely to sell at this stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The goalkeeper Robert S\u00e1nchez is poised to leave Chelsea as he nears a loan to Como. S\u00e1nchez lost the No 1 spot after Emiliano Mart\u00ednez\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City are poised to bolster their attack by buying Everton\u2019s Iliman Ndiaye for up to \u00a365m and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":879012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-879011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=879011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/879012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=879011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=879011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=879011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
