Why Iliman Ndiaye will breathe a sigh of relief to Everton signing Kenny Tete from Fulham…

Kenny Tete is set to be the second summer signing for David Moyes and Everton.

The Fulham right-back is set to fill the void in Moyes’ defence as the Everton backline is desperately lacking on that right-hand side.

Nathan Patterson isn’t trusted by Moyes, so it was clear a new full-back would come through the door, and Tete has an ‘agreement’ with Everton.

The Toffees adding the Dutchman will give experience to a defence which is already seen as a strong component of Moyes’ plans.

Evertonians are excited by Tete’s arrival, and he’s already shown his worth on the Goodison Park stage.

How Everton-bound Kenny Tete fared at Goodison Park this season
The right-back is 29 and has already endured four seasons of Premier League football, so he definitely fits the bill for the Scotsman.

Moyes wants players with character, and it seems as though after excelling under Marco Silva during his time in West London, Tete has exactly that.

Fans will already know of his promise though, after he played for Fulham against Everton this campaign.

Evertonians will remember the 1-1 draw under Sean Dyche as Beto scored a rare goal in the 94th minute, but from Fulham’s side of things, it was Tete who stood out.

Even though former blue Alex Iwobi scored the goal, Tete made for a serious threat from full-back, and Iliman Ndiaye will be someone glad to see him join.

The Dutchman is clearly a nightmare to play against from a winger’s point of view and explains why he’s been an ever-present force in Silva’s plans.

Not only is his quality there, but the 29-year-old has the perfect attitude for Moyes, as Tete opted to reject a three-year deal from Fulham to favour a move to the Toffees.

As mentioned, he’s a nightmare to play against, and Ndiaye found that out first-hand in the 1-1 draw.

Tete can stop even the most threatening of wingers, and what he prides himself on is the ability to keep them off the ball as much as possible.

Despite being one of the more consistent presences in Moyes’ side, the Senegalese international found it a struggle this time round, and will be happy that Tete will be alongside him as opposed to against him.
