Everton are reportedly interested in signing West Ham United's 21-year-old Senegalese left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf, who recorded five assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season. The defender joined West Ham in July 2025 from Slavia Prague for a reported fee of between €22 million and €25 million and his contract runs until 2030. Speculation regarding his future is expected to increase now that his participation in the World Cup with Senegal has concluded. He has 23 caps and one goal for Senegal. According to Football Insider, West Ham will target Sheffield United's Harrison Burrows as a replacement should Diouf be sold. The player has a current Transfermarkt market value of €28.00m and has also been linked with Porto, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
