After a mixed 2022-2023 season in the jersey of Olympique de Marseille, the Senegalese internationals, Ismaïla Sarr and Iliman Ndiaye, chose to bounce back across the Channel during the last summer transfer window. A look back at their start to the season in the Premier League, with Crystal Palace for Sarr and Everton for Ndiaye.
Arriving at Om with the status of great hopes of Senegalese football, Ismaïla Sarr and Iliman Ndiaye failed to establish themselves in the long term within the Olympian squad. Despite some good glimpses of promise, the offensive duo was unable to meet the expectations placed on them at the Canebière. An observation which pushed the two players to change scenery during the summer.
It is therefore in the Premier League, a championship that they know well having already played there, that Sarr and Ndiaye decided to relaunch. The 25-year-old winger signed with Crystal Palace while the 23-year-old attacking midfielder joined the ranks of Everton. Two interesting challenges for these talents who are keen to prove that they can flourish at the highest level.
Ismaïla Sarr, a rise in power during the last meetings
On the Crystal Palace side, Ismaïla Sarr had difficulty finding his feet at the start of the season, with a weak game. However, in recent matches, we have seen a rise in power of the former Om player in as holder. In terms of accounting, Sarr has a record of 4 goals and 2 assists in the last championship matches. Interesting performances for the Senegalese who is gaining consistency and impact in the Eagles’ game. If he continues this momentum, there is no doubt that he will have a major role to play in the second half of the season for the London club.
Iliman Ndiaye is still finding his feet
At Everton, Iliman Ndiaye has had a more mixed start. Despite significant playing time with the Toffees, the former Sheffield United player is still struggling to prove himself in terms of goals and assists. However, he is important in the system put in place by his trainer who has trusted him for quite a few days.
In any case, the two Senegalese internationals have shown in the past that they have the talent to shine in the Premier League. It is now up to them to work hard to get back to their best and help their clubs achieve their goals.
A successful second part of the season would not only allow them to get back on track after their failure in Marseille, but also to confirm their status in the national team. Because with the African Cup of Nations in their sights, Sarr and Ndiaye will be keen to shine in the Lions jersey. An additional challenge for these two promising talents who have not yet said their last word.
