Everton have made a decision on the future of Iliman Ndiaye after receiving a number of offers for the winger.
The 25-year-old has had a superb start to the Premier League season, scoring twice in the Toffees’ first three matches.
David Moyes’ side are reaping the rewards of a positive summer in the transfer market, with Ndiaye quickly striking up a partnership with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Man City loanee Jack Grealish.
The trio fired Everton to a 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend, before they beat Wolves 3-2 at Molineux on Saturday (30 August).
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that his old side have a strong stance on Ndiaye’s transfer availability, after receiving offers from English and Italian clubs.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness insisted that Everton have rejected all offers so far for Ndiaye and won’t sell him before the transfer deadline.

The Senegal international signed for the Toffees last summer from Marseille, for a fee of around £17million.
Wyness added that Ndiaye is happy to stay at the Merseyside club following recent events.
He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “I think they’ve made it very clear they’ve rejected those offers.
He can start to link up with Grealish and other players, but in his own right, he’s a very exciting player, and I think he is part of the future going forward.
“So I don’t think there’s any chance of him leaving at all, and you know, everything’s been batted back.
So no, I think he’ll be staying, and he’s going to love being part of what’s going forward.
“Being the last one to score at Goodison, and the first one to score at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
He’s got his place in Everton history now, so he’ll want to relish that, and the fans love him.
So yeah, I think he’ll be happy to stay.”
Meanwhile, Rangers have agreed terms with Everton forward Youssef Chermiti as they close in on a £10million deal, sources have told Football Insider.
The 21-year-old is on standby to undergo a medical as the two clubs thrash out the structure of the fee.
Discussions are advancing over a deal in which the Gers will pay an initial fee of around £8m, plus £2m in add-ons.
The package also includes a significant sell-on clause based on the profit Rangers make on any future transfer.
Talks were initially held over a loan deal for Chermiti, but the Glasgow giants then turned their attention to agreeing a permanent deal.
