Sheffield United attacking midfielder Iliman Ndiaye has been the subject of “enquiries” from Premier League teams, according to the Daily Express reporter Ryan Taylor.
The journalist says that, even though the 22-year-old is garnering interest, the Blades are adamant that the player will not be sold during the January transfer window:
Premier League clubs have made enquiries over Sheffield United attacker Iliman Ndiaye. Blades position on departure clear & communicated to interested parties: not for sale as Senegal international considered integral to promotion push. #TwitterBladeshttps://t.co/4H9273CEJ2

Fans will be glad that Ndiaye is unlikely to be leaving Bramall Lane this month. He has helped to spearhead United’s promotion challenge, having scored nine goals and provided seven assists in 25 appearances so far this season.
However, his contract does expire in eighteen months’ time and, with a possible takeover of the club, no new deals are currently being offered to first-team players.
That means that if a sizeable offer is made for Ndiaye in the coming weeks, it will be very difficult for the Blades to turn down, even though he is a key member of Paul Heckingbottom’s starting eleven.
