Everton urged to keep Ndiaye for Premier League success
Everton legend Tony Hibbert has called on the club to keep Idrissa Ndiaye, a key player for manager David Moyes, to ensure the team's success in the 2027 season. Ndiaye scored 11 goals in his debut 2024/25 season at Goodison Park, and has remained a creative force for the team despite a drop in goals to six in the 2025/26 season.
Why Ndiaye is crucial for Everton's future
Hibbert praised Ndiaye's quality, saying "The ball just sticks to him. You can see the quality he has. He gets fouled a lot, but the ball when he has it under control, with his low centre of gravity, twisting and turning, you can see he’s a top, top player." Hibbert believes that keeping Ndiaye is essential for the team's success, saying "If we want to go places, we need to keep building the way we are. We need to keep him."
Everton's current form and league standing
As of the final 2025 table, Everton are 13th in the Premier League, with 49 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LLDDL. The team has scored 47 goals and conceded 50 this season, with a goal difference of -3. They are 36 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race.
What comes next for Everton?
Everton's next fixture is against Ipswich at home on 2026-09-19. The team will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses, and keep Ndiaye's form going to ensure their success in the 2027 season.
