Four Premier League clubs will have scouts watching Trabzonspor host Galatasaray in Super Lig on Sunday (October 29) with the specific intention of looking at Badou Ndiaye, according to Turkish publication Sporx.

The 27-year-old operates in front of the back four, breaking up the play and then driving forwards and has caught the eye of some of England’s biggest sides with his performances.

Despite playing as a box-to-box midfielder in general so far this season, the Senegalese star – who has 13 caps for his country – may well feature more as a number ten against Trabzon.

It may be this versatility in the middle that has made Ndiaye so appealing to the teams from the top tier in England watching the African.
