"Ex-Marseille player Iliman Ndiaye has etched his legacy at Everton, as he aspired to achieve historical milestones for his new club."
Everton striker Iliman Ndiaye is brimming with confidence as his team prepares to face reigning Premier League champions Liverpool this Saturday, with kick-off set for 13:30.
Ndiaye, who joined Everton last year, has already made a significant impact on the team, scoring against some of the league's top sides, including Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Southampton, and Brighton. His goals at Goodison Park and the Hill Dickinson Stadium have secured his place in Everton's history.
One of his most memorable moments came against Southampton in added time (45+2), where a penalty kick from Ndiaye secured a 2-0 victory for Everton. This goal, aided by a delivery from Jack Grealish, who joined Everton on loan a few days prior to the match, was predicted by Ndiaye's daughter, who shouted 'Dada!' (Papa!) when they passed the new stadium under construction in Liverpool, shortly after he signed with Everton.
Ndiaye and Grealish have developed a strong connection, with Ndiaye crediting Grealish's positioning and elimination skills for his ability to finish crosses. However, it's worth noting that Ndiaye and Grealish had not played together during previous training sessions.
Everton, founded in 1878, has been in the Premier Division for 72 years, a record in England. As of before matchday 5, Everton is ranked 6th in the Premier League.
Despite his success at Everton, Ndiaye still closely follows the results of his former club, Olympique de Marseille. However, his challenges at Marseille now seem like a distant memory.
Liverpool will undoubtedly pose a formidable challenge for Everton, but with Ndiaye's confidence high and the team in good form, fans can look forward to an exciting match this Saturday.
