Everton are reportedly one of a number of clubs looking at signing Sheffield United striker Iliman Ndiaye.
That's according to the Mirror, via Goodison News, who are reporting that the Blues, West Ham United and Newcastle United are all keeping tabs on the versatile forward. The Senegal international was the hero for the Blades as they knocked Tottenham Hotspur out of the FA Cup at the start of the month.
The 23-year-old has scored 12 times so far this season and has been instrumental in his side's bid for promotion back to the Premier League. He is under contract at Bramall Lane until the end of next season.

Speaking last month, Blues boss Sean Dyche revealed that Everton are already planning for the summer transfer window to address the balance of the current squad.
He said: “I'm certainly not deserving of any explanation before my time here because that was a different regime, different people involved. During my time here, I sat here for some 48 hours more or less here all day and night with all the relevant people doing as best as they can.
“What I would say, to share a view of it, you may have well noticed how many strikers are out there, what is the market you're looking in, how many are out there and are they Premier League ready? You're not looking at development players because we have that in Simmsy [Ellis Simms] who is learning his trade.”
Before he added: “Then further down the road, of course, I'm already talking about what we can do next, what we can open up, and are we already looking - which we, of course, are - exploring many options, exploring possibilities, getting in touch with the right people, getting our scouts working diligently across the board and covering the situation as much as we can so it doesn't arise again.”
