ONE NDIAYE HE'LL WIN A BALLON D'OR

Gueye tips Blues pal Iliman to be world's best

- BY JOE THOMAS

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

Everton's 23-year-old attacking midfielder has lit up the Premier League this season, scoring four goals and dazzling defenders with his tricks on the right of David Moyes’ Toffees 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 club and country teammate for Senegal (the pair, below), that ability could take Ndiaye to the Ballon d’Or once monopolised by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. George Weah is the only player from Africa to have won the prestigious award.
