Arsenal are reportedly unwilling to match a Saudi bid for Iliman Ndiaye, even though the Everton attacker has been among the players considered by the club in recent weeks. As the transfer window continues, Arsenal are still assessing how to strengthen their squad without overcommitting in the market.
Ndiaye has attracted attention after establishing himself as a notable Premier League forward, and his name has been linked with Arsenal as they review attacking options. However, the latest indication is that the Gunners will not push their interest to the level required to compete with an offer coming from Saudi Arabia.
That suggests Arsenal value the player but have a clear limit on what they are prepared to spend or offer in order to complete a deal. With time left in the window, the club appears focused on building depth in a controlled way rather than entering a bidding battle they do not see as worthwhile.
For now, Ndiaye remains one of several names connected with Arsenal’s recruitment plans, but this development points away from a move unless the situation changes. The focus stays on making sure the squad is strong enough before the window closes.
