insider Transfer News: Enzo deal close, Ndiaye hijack, Fofana to Arsenal? Make us your Google favourite Football news expert insider has provided an update on several major transfer stories on Deadline Day, including the latest on Enzo Fernandez, Iliman Ndiaye and Malick Fofana. Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City Iliman Ndiaye had looked set to complete a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but Manchester City have hijacked the transfer and he is now heading to the Etihad Stadium. "One of the surprises of the day, one of the exclusive stories of the day, Iliman Ndiaye is going to Man City and not Tottenham,” Romano confirmed on his YouTube channel . “What happened is that, according to my information, there was no agreement between Richarlison and Everton over his possible return to the club. “Tottenham and Everton had an agreement. Richarlison to Everton, Iliman Ndiaye to Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham also had a green light yesterday from the player on the contract, but there was no agreement on the details of the contract between Richarlison and Everton. Richarlison today shared a statement and, as I said, obviously he has his own reasons to decide his future. He's not the club deciding what Richarlison should do. “And so, the deal to Tottenham is off for Ndiaye, and Man City, who had already negotiated for a few days ago, have now closed the deal. So, the Senegal winger is joining City. The medical is booked. The deal is worth £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons.” Cody Gakpo stays at Liverpool Ndiaye’s move to Man City comes after Liverpool decided against selling Cody Gakpo to Enzo Maresca’s side. “Gakpo is the other big story of the day because all of this is why Ndiaye is going to Man City,” Romano said. “All of this started with Cody Gakpo because Gakpo already had an agreement done with Man City on personal terms, but the club-to-club deal didn't happen and is not going to happen because Liverpool decided to stop all the negotiations for Gakpo and keep the player at the club. “They had £85 million on the table guaranteed from Man City, but Liverpool decided against selling Gakpo, a really important player for Liverpool. They believed that the alternatives on the market were not at the same level as Gakpo, that some of them were too expensive, like Ismaila Sarr, who was the player they wanted, but Crystal Palace were asking too much money. “And so Gakpo is staying at Liverpool, and that's obviously important news, not just on the market, but I'm told also in the dressing room because really important players at Liverpool believe that Gakpo had to stay, and he's going to stay.” Jack Grealish transfer race Jack Grealish is set to be one of the biggest talking points of Deadline Day, with the England star expected to leave Man City following their agreement to sign Ndiaye. “For Jack Grealish, I expect a ‘Here We Go’ in the morning, maybe in the night. Let's see because things are moving today,” Romano said. “Aston Villa were calling the agents again to understand the situation of Grealish and if there is an opportunity for a sensational comeback of Grealish to Aston Villa. But my understanding is that Everton are favourites because Everton have been negotiating with Man City today for Grealish. “Everton already have an agreement in principle with Man City for the loan deal of Grealish. So now, waiting to clarify the deal on the player's side with Jack, and then David Moyes hopes to welcome back Grealish, who is really close to rejoining Everton.” Enzo Fernandez to Man City Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez will be one of the protagonists of Deadline Day and he is edging closer towards a Man City transfer. “Enzo Fernandez to Man City deal is absolutely on,” Romano confirmed. “In the last video, I told you Man City are coming. Now I can tell you Man City have arrived. “Man City, for the very first time after a very long summer for Enzo, had a direct club-to-club contact with Chelsea last night. “My understanding is that there is an official bid on the table. So, the Enzo deal could be done any moment if Chelsea decide to give the green light. Enzo is going to City in the next hours already because Enzo is ready. Enzo has an agreement on personal terms. “Enzo wants to go to Man City, and he told Chelsea that he desires to go to City and to rejoin Maresca. Now it's on Chelsea to make a decision. "Obviously, the replacement would be important. Let's see what happens. For example, for Man
