The latest transfer development at Everton could be bad news for Tottenham in their pursuit of Iliman Ndiaye.It emerged late on Saturday night that Tottenham and Everton had agreed a double deal for Ndiaye and Richarlison, who were set to head in opposite directions.However, the transfer is yet to be finalised, with both clubs still waiting for the Brazilian striker to give the green light.This is according to Fabrizio Romano, who has claimed that Ndiaye’s move to Spurs could hinge on Richarlison going the other way, with the Brazilian having no shortage of suitors at the moment.Photo by SpursWebEverton send offer for potential alternative for Tottenham striker RicharlisonIt is now being reported by multiple sources that Everton have launched an offer for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun, with the Tofees keen on landing a striker to replace the Fiorentina-bound Beto.This includes Fabrizio Romano, who wrote on X: “Everton have sent an official bid to AS Monaco for Folarin Balogun as negotiations are ongoing.

The Toffees have submitted a proposal of €18M to their counterparts at AS Monaco and are pushing to sign the American striker.
