Senegalese striker Iliman Ndiaye has just signed for Olympique de Marseille.
As planned for a few days, Iliman Ndiaye has become Olympique de Marseille’s sixth summer recruit. The day after his arrival in Marseille, the 23-year-old Senegalese signed his contract with the 3e of the last Ligue 1 exercise.
Ndiaye, OM’s most expensive recruit this summer
For compensation of 15 million euros, the former Sheffield United player signed a five-year contract with OM. He comes to reinforce an offensive sector already well supplied, following the combined arrivals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ismaila Sarr.
