London Football reports that several Tottenham Hotspur transfers, including Ndiaye and Richarlison, need to be completed before the transfer deadline. Ndiaye's homegrown status is particularly welcome news for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur's carefully planned summer transfer window, which has progressed smoothly so far, is entering its final and hectic stage. The club hopes to build the best squad for Roberto De Zerbi as preparation for the new season.

Tottenham Hotspur is working to complete a major deal: signing Ndiaye from Everton before other competitors move in. The Senegalese international can play as a right winger, left winger, or attacking midfielder. With the arrivals of Omar Marmoush and Savio, and Mohamed Kudus's return from injury, Ndiaye's signing will further enrich De Zerbi's attacking options.

One of Tottenham Hotspur's primary attacking targets, Cody Gakpo, appears set to join Manchester City, clearing the path for De Zerbi's preferred 26-year-old French forward, Ndiaye.

However, clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in the player, so Tottenham Hotspur needs to accelerate the deal and arrange for the player to travel to Tottenham's training ground for a medical examination.

According to London Football, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are still negotiating Ndiaye's transfer, with the North London club hoping to finalize the deal so the player can complete his medical examination.

Everton did not register Ndiaye as a homegrown player, but despite being born in France and representing Senegal internationally, he still qualifies as a homegrown player under Premier League rules. This is a significant advantage for Tottenham Hotspur, which has been hampered by squad registration restrictions.

The Premier League rule states: "A 'homegrown player' means a player who, regardless of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated with the FA or the Welsh FA for three full seasons (or 36 months) before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season in which he turns 21). The registration period does not need to be continuous."

Ndiaye came to England as a teenager, signing a professional contract with Boreham Wood at age 17, and moved to Sheffield United two years later. In 2023, the then-23-year-old transferred to Marseille, and the following year the Ligue 1 club sold him to Everton, just as De Zerbi was taking over as Tottenham Hotspur manager.

It is understood that Ndiaye's transfer and Richarlison's departure are not linked. De Zerbi told London Football that Richarlison, Pape Matar Sarr, and Kevin Danso all want to leave.

"Richarlison's situation remains unclear. He has repeatedly stated that he wants to leave. Danso came to me two days ago and said he wants to go. The same applies to Pape Sarr; he has a minor injury, but he's almost ready to return to training," the Italian manager said.

"I respect these players; they are good people, and I have a good relationship with them. But if they want to leave, they need to provide a financial solution for the club so they can go, and we can find another player."

It remains uncertain whether Richarlison will return to Everton. There are reports that while he likes his former club, he is not actively pursuing the move. London Football understands that Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are still negotiating for the Brazilian international. Saudi Pro League clubs and Brazilian club Flamengo have previously expressed interest in the striker.

On Sunday, the Brazilian posted on social media: "In many negative narratives, I am the villain."

De Zerbi said this summer that the Brazilian has wavered in his desire to leave. He was not in the squad for the loss to Newcastle last weekend and did not appear as a substitute in the League Cup victory over Charlton.

Sarr will join Juventus on loan with a mandatory purchase option for a total deal worth approximately £25.7 million. Tottenham Hotspur signed him from Metz five years ago, with the player initially returning to his former club on loan for one season.

Teams such as Sunderland and Aston Villa are interested in Danso. It is understood that Sunderland's loan offer last week was rejected. The Austrian international is the only senior right-footed centre-back in the squad who can compete with Jan-Paul van de Ven for the starting position. If he leaves, Tottenham Hotspur will need to recruit a replacement.
