""I'm always speaking to him. He's a good boy, he listens a lot. "I always knew he would be successful here at Everton and, honestly, I don't think he's shown his best yet. "I train with him every day so I see his quality and I can see what he is capable of. He just needs to believe in himself, keep working hard and have high expectations of himself.""
""I told him when he first arrived here that he can be the next African Balon d'Or winner, because he has the quality, he has the technique, he has the skills and everything. "He has a combination I've never seen it before. "He's a humble guy. A very, very good guy. He's not shy - he likes to play and joke with everyone. Nobody ever has a problem with him because he is humble and always keeps working hard.""
Iliman Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille ahead of the 2024–25 season and has become the club's standout attacker. The Senegal international has scored 13 Premier League goals and provided one assist while contributing a wealth of dribbling and creative play. Only Jeremy Doku and Mohammed Kudus have completed more dribbles than Ndiaye since the start of last season, and he ranks 14th for duels won with 252. Ndiaye records 2.40 expected assists (xA), placing him among the Premier League top four alongside Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. He has scored four league goals this season, including a solo effort against Sunderland on November 3.
