Iliman has talent to become one of best

GUEYE HAILS TEAM-MATE TO BE ON TOP OF WORLD

- By JOE THOMAS Everton FC Correspondent

DRISSA GUEYE believes Iliman Ndiaye has the talent to become one of the greatest players in the world.

The 25-year-old has lit up the Premier League this season, scoring four goals and dazzling defenders with his tricks on the right of David Moyes' attack.

Several highlight reels of his matchday antics have gone viral since the start of the campaign as the wider football community starts to acknowledge his talent.

For Gueye, his Everton and Senegal teammate, that ability could take Ndiaye to the very top - and even to the Ballon d’Or prize once monopolised by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. George Weah is the only player from Africa to have won the prestigious award.

Gueye said: “I challenge [Ndiaye] every game, every time we play. I'm always speaking to him. He’s a good boy, he listens a lot and, yeah, I'm like his... grandbrother. I always knew he would be successful here at Everton and, honestly, I don’t think he’s shown his best yet.
