Why Everton's Iliman Ndiaye replacement plan ends with Jean-Matteo Bahoya after latest twist

Everton may look to quickly replace Iliman Ndiaye before the end of the summer transfer window.

The Toffees have agreed a deal to sell their star man to Tottenham for £60million, with Richarlison set to go the other way and return to Merseyside as part of a separate deal.

Jack Grealish is also set to come back to the Blues on loan, with David Moyes' side ready to pay 90 per cent of the Manchester City man's wages.

With that said, Everton's left-side of attack and striker situation will soon be sorted out, but an Ndiaye replacement will still be needed.

That's where Eintracht Frankfurt's Jean-Matteo Bahoya fits into things.

Why Jean-Matteo Bahoya update is important to Everton

Everton are one club interested in Bahoya, with several other Premier League sides also keen.

However, Hull City had agreed a £21.3m deal in principle for the winger in recent days.

As reported by talkSPORT transfer correspondent Alex Crook, a move to the Tigers is now off, with the player assessing his options elsewhere.

It's said that the 21-year-old has multiple offers on the table, and Everton could be one of them, which would make sense given what's going on with Ndiaye.

How Bahoya is perfect Iliman Ndiaye replacement

Hull's hierarchy saw Bahoya as a "potential star" the same way Everton looked at Ndiaye before signing him from Sheffield United.

Moyes will need a player to replace the Tottenham-bound star with that X-factor, and Bahoya could be the man.

The youngster can play on either flank and centrally, like Ndiaye, but more importantly he is brilliant at dribbling.

Bahoya averaged 2.78 dribbles per game last season in the Bundesliga, with a 59 per cent success rate.

He is Ndiaye 2.0, and Everton must make their move now.
