Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a deal for Iliman Ndiaye, as Spurs supporters wait nervously for the final formalities to be completed.Tottenham have agreed a deal worth £60m for Ndiaye, according to various reports, but the transfer is yet to get a ‘here we go’ seal of approval from Fabrizio Romano.The deal could hinge on Richarlison completing a return to Everton, after Roberto De Zerbi confirmed over the weekend that the striker had asked to leave several times this summer.£60m would represent a bargain for an attacker of the 27-year-old’s quality, given the inflated market for Premier League-proven players this summer, and there is one more reason why the Senegalese star would be a major coup for Spurs.Photo by Visionhaus/Getty ImagesTottenham can register Iliman Ndiaye as homegrown if they complete transferFootball.London’s Alasdair Gold has confirmed that the Lilywhites are still working to finalise a late deal for the former Marseille winger.Interestingly, he reveals that Ndiaye can be registered as a homegrown player by Tottenham, which would help with their squad planning before they submit their final 25-man squad to the Premier League.This is because the winger came to England as a teenager and signed a professional deal with Boreham Wood as a 17-year-old before joining Sheffield United two years later. Having spent three years in England before turning 21, he qualifies as homegrown under the FA’s rules, and that is especially useful to Roberto De Zerbi’s side, given an expected exit.Spurs set to lose one homegrown player before tomorrow’s deadlineTottenham have exactly the minimum number of homegrown players mandated by the Premier League in their squad, which is eight.However, they may soon lose one of them, with reports indicating that Sunderland are making progress in their efforts to land Kevin Danso after he informed De Zerbi of his desire to leave.Danso’s loss will leave Tottenham with just seven homegrown players. Although they could technically overcome that by just naming Archie Gray in their main list rather than the Under-21 list, Ndiaye’s arrival does give the club more leeway in their squad planning.READ MORE: How much Iliman Ndiaye earns at Everton and where it fits into Tottenham wage billThe post Little-known Iliman Ndiaye detail could really boost Tottenham squad planning appeared first on Spurs Web.
