Tottenham Hotspur have been told that they will have to pay a premium in order to land Iliman Ndiaye from Everton in January.

The Lilywhites are expected to have money to spend in January after Tottenham’s majority owners injected £100m equity into the club.

While it is unclear how much of that will go to the club’s transfer budget, reports have indicated that the Lewis family is prepared to inject more money into the club in the near future.

It has emerged over recent days that Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye is part of Tottenham’s shortlist for January, but it turns out that the player will not come cheap.

The player in question is Iliman Ndiaye, who has made rapid strides in Merseyside since arriving from Marseille in the summer of 2024.

A new report from TEAMtalk confirms that Spurs are fans of Ndiaye, claiming that the North London club are following the attacker’s progress closely.

However, it is revealed that Everton are standing their ground on the Senegal international and are not keen on a sale of the player in January.

In fact, sources close to the Toffees have allegedly laughed off suggestions that Ndiaye could be available for £30m.
