If Manchester City are to wrestle the Premier League title back from Arsenal, signings such as Iliman Ndiaye are a necessity.Even with their lavishly assembled squad, Enzo Maresca’s side look a little light in wide areas, particularly following the recent departures of Savio and Omar Marmoush to Tottenham Hotspur.Arsenal’s triumph last season was underpinned by formidable squad depth across almost every position, giving them the resilience to compete on four fronts domestically and in Europe. City, by contrast, have Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku as their only out-and-out wingers, since attacking midfielders Phil Foden and Jack Grealish regularly drift into more central areas when deployed from the flanks.Signing Everton’s Ndiaye will immediately provide this depth, offering Maresca another exciting and versatile threat from out wide.Like Semenyo, the 26-year-old French-born Senegal international is one of the Premier League’s more naturally two-footed attackers, with five of his 11 open-play goals for Everton being scored with his nominally weaker left foot.It means Ndiaye is comfortable playing off either flank, a quality manager David Moyes took advantage of last season: he began that campaign playing on the right before switching sides following the season-ending injury suffered by the on-loan Grealish in January.Adding him to the squad would give Maresca cover for both Doku — who is out with a calf injury — and Semenyo, but Ndiaye is unlikely to settle for life as an expensive backup and possesses enough talent to carve out a spot in City’s starting XI.Ndiaye is a wonderfully talented dribbler — a non-negotiable for a winger in Maresca’s setup.The Italian’s approach is rooted in methodical short passing, relying on his wide attackers to inject the unpredictability needed to prise open deep-lying, compact defences. “When we are looking for a winger, we are looking for someone who is good one-v-one and who can attack and create something,” Maresca said when in charge of Chelsea last season.
