Everton 'want to make £15m January move for Sheffield United striker Iliman Ndiaye - but have to raise the funds first' as Frank Lampard seeks added firepower with Toffees locked in relegation battle

Everton are reportedly gearing up to make a £15m bid to purchase Sheffield United frontman Iliman Ndiaye but will need to raise the funds first.

The Senegal international has played a crucial part in the Blades' successful season so far, returning 10 goals and seven assists in 28 games, helping lift the Yorkshire club up to second place in the Championship.

But, according to The Sun, the 22-year-old's prolific form in the second tier has attracted the eyes of the Everton bosses, who are keen to sign a new striker in a bid to help them avoid relegation this season.
