Iliman Ndiaye transfer news: Man City complete £65m deal for Everton winger as Cody Gakpo alternative

The deal comprises a £60m guaranteed payment plus £5m in bonuses.

Ndiaye, who had also been wanted by Tottenham, has signed a five-year contract at Manchester City.

Jack Grealish is set to go the other way in a separate deal after he was given permission to have an Everton medical, with a season-long loan deal agreed that covers the final year of his Manchester City contract.

Sky Sports News also learned Everton have made an offer for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee .

Ndiaye's City arrival comes after Liverpool rejected Manchester City's £80m bid for Cody Gakpo.

Sky Sports News understands Liverpool were concerned about their chances of bringing in a replacement for the Dutchman.

Manchester City wanted to sign a wide forward and a central midfielder before the window closes, with the club agreeing a joint-British record deal for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez on Deadline Day.

City allowed Savio and Omar Marmoush to join Tottenham earlier this month, reducing Enzo Maresca's options on the wing.

City did not name a winger on their bench in Friday's win over Crystal Palace and started with Phil Foden - who Enzo Maresca admitted is not a winger - out wide at Selhurst Park.

Ndiaye, who becomes Manchester City's seventh summer signing, said: "I've worked my whole life for an opportunity like this.

"City are one of the best clubs in the world and I've seen them win everything as I've grown up.

"To be able to write my own chapter in a story that special is the chance of a lifetime and I'm determined to grab it with both hands.

"It's not always been easy in my career, but I always had the belief that I could play for a team challenging for the biggest prizes, and now I'm here. It feels so good.

"I love to play with the ball on the floor in an attacking team that wants to score as many goals as possible. That's why I know this is the perfect fit."

Manchester City director of football Hugo Viana added: "Iliman is a very talented footballer. He's had to work incredibly hard to reach this level and in my first conversation with him it was immediately obvious how grounded he is and the determination he has to be the best player he can be.

"I've no doubt City fans will get a thrill seeing him in action for us."
