Iliman Ndiaye has just decided who he’s joining out of Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City

Arsenal have been tracking Iliman Ndiaye this summer alongside Tottenham and Man City and the player appears to have now made his mind up.
Ndiaye has been one of the standout players in the Premier League ever since he moved to Everton from Marseille a few seasons ago.
Ever since breaking through at Sheffield United, Ndiaye has been tipped for the very top.
And now, it appears he’s decided to aim for the highest standard possible with his next move.
Iliman Ndiaye decides to join Manchester City
Arsenal had put Ndiaye on their list as a potential replacement for Gabriel Martinelli but it appears now that the Senegalese star has picked Man City.
According to David Ornstein, Ndiaye has now decided that City are the club he wants to sign for and talks and paperwork over a £65m deal is all but sorted.
Ornstein reports that Ndiaye is expected to undergo a medical tomorrow.

Ndiaye has seen a remarkable career trajectory that saw him as part of the Rising Ballers programme before he joined Boreham Wood as a teen.
From there, Sheffield United picked him up and he was given a Premier League debut by Chris Wilder as the Blades were relegated in humiliating fashion.
However, he starred under Slavisa Jokanovic and Paul Heckingbottom the season after, leading United to promotion.

Ndiaye then joined boyhood club Marseille for around £20m, before joining Everton for a similar fee and excelling under David Moyes.
Now, Ndiaye looks like he’ll get the chance to prove himself at one of the very best clubs around as Arsenal’s search for a new winger goes on.
