### Exclusive: Everton Transfer ‘100% Done’ with Announcement Imminent; Double Deal on the Horizon
**Harry Watkinson – 3 hours ago**
Everton are set to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Marseille and are showing interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
Everton have started the transfer window strongly, and sources from TEAMtalk confirm that their third signing will be announced soon.
The Toffees have already secured Tim Iroegbunam for £9 million and re-signed Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds United but still have significant business ahead.
The sales of Lewis Dobbin (£9 million) and Ben Godfrey (£11 million) have reportedly helped Everton comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules before their accounts submission on Sunday.

TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal that Marseille star Iliman Ndiaye is now considered an Everton player, with a permanent transfer worth around €20 million (including add-ons) “100% done,” according to sources.
The Senegalese international, who spent four years with Sheffield United before joining Marseille, has signed a five-year contract.
There has been online speculation because Ndiaye underwent his Everton medical on Wednesday, but an official announcement from the club is still pending.
However, TEAMtalk can confirm that Ndiaye passed his medical without issues and will be unveiled as a new Everton player shortly.
The 23-year-old’s natural position is as a number 10, so he will compete with Abdoulaye Doucoure for a starting spot at Goodison Park. Ndiaye can also play as a winger or centre-forward, offering versatility to Sean Dyche’s squad.
Fans may recall his performance during Sheffield United’s 2022/23 promotion campaign, where he scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 46 Championship matches.

Ndiaye won’t be Everton’s final signing this summer. Reports indicate that sporting director Kevin Thelwell is focusing on acquiring a new centre-forward.
The future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains uncertain, especially after a potential move to Newcastle, which would have seen Yankuba Minteh move the other way, fell through.
With 12 months remaining on his contract and extension negotiations stalled, sources suggest Everton might sell Calvert-Lewin this summer if they cannot secure new terms. Thelwell has several potential replacements in mind.
One of these targets is Chelsea striker Armando Broja, who was heavily linked with Everton during Frank Lampard’s tenure as manager. Their interest persists.
Journalist Jacob Steinberg describes Everton as “strong contenders” to sign Broja, who struggled to impress during his loan at Fulham last season and has fallen down Chelsea’s pecking order.
Reports suggest Chelsea could demand up to £35 million for Broja, with Wolves also showing interest. It’s likely that Everton would need to sell Calvert-Lewin to afford that price tag.
Interestingly, Chelsea is one of the clubs monitoring Calvert-Lewin’s situation.
