Senegalese international striker from Olympique de Marseille, Iliman Ndiaye, has spoken about his wish to one day play in the Premier League.
Summer recruit from Olympique de Marseille arriving from Sheffield United FC, Iliman Ndiaye swapped the red and black tunic for that of Ciel et Blanc. The Senegalese international thus missed the opportunity to play in the Premier League. Indeed, after two seasons in the Championship, the Blades managed to secure their rise to the first division by finishing in second place, ten lengths behind Burnley. But if we are to believe the main person concerned, the latter is not closing the door to a return to England.
A difficult choice
“It started when I was four or five years old, it was my first kit and it was an OM jersey. What made me love this club is the way this club is with its supporters. I dreamed of being able to play there. There are also great players at OM and that also made me want to do like them to be a legend. It’s a dream come true. One day I would like to play in the Premier League again, it’s a big championship. Maybe someday. “, told Ndiaye in a press conference relayed on Twitch.
However, the Rouennais does not regret having committed to OM this summer. “There are many reasons for this choice. It was hard to choose between the Premier League and my favorite club. Playing European matches was part of my decision. It was a hard choice and I thought it through carefully. I think I made the right decision by joining OM. » he concluded.
