Morgan Rogers has given Everton plenty to think about regarding Iliman Ndiaye.

The England international looks set to join Chelsea from Aston Villa this transfer window.

As things stand, the Toffees could also be about to lose a key player in the Senegalese star, who is coming off some decent seasons in the Premier League.

Ndiaye could be on his way out of Hill Dickinson Stadium soon and The Friedkin Group know what they must do during negotiations.

The 26-year-old winger has been key to David Moyes' plans at the Blues, but top teams are now fighting for his signature.

The Senegal international's current contract still has three years left at the Merseyside outfit, giving them all the leverage for a mega deal.

What Morgan Rogers deal means for Iliman Ndiaye at Everton

Goodison News recently reported claims of Manchester United's interest in Ndiaye, with Villa also holding talks about a possible transfer.

The Toffees are arguably in a strong position to set the terms for the forward's sale and must use Rogers as a reference point.

Sky Sports have reported that Chelsea will pay a British-record £117million to sign the 23-year-old attacker from Villa Park.

Rogers was influential in Unai Emery's team winning the Europa League last season and scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in the Premier League.

Ndiaye has also consistently shown his qualities through his goal contributions in the English top flight since moving from Olympique Marseille.

There's no reason why the Merseyside outfit can't demand their own record sale to sanction the Senegalese winger's departure, and everyone knows Villa have the money to do so.

Who else David Moyes risks losing at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Moyes ensured a disappointing end to the season at Everton, but there were still a few standout players in L3.

Ndiaye saw his form dip after the Africa Cup of Nations, but he picked it up soon enough and is now being pursued by top teams.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has also reignited his career at the Toffees after struggling at Chelsea and it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a big move.

James Garner is another player who cemented his reputation as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League last season and the Merseysiders will surely expect to receive some offers for him.

It remains to be seen who Moyes will be able to rely on for next season.
