And he has insisted The Friedkin Group will back him in the transfer market if he can identify the right players. ‌Iliman Ndiaye is currently on international duty with Hill Dickinson Stadium colleague Idrissa Gueye, preparing for Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final with Senegal against hosts Morocco. ‌And asked in his pre-match press conference to preview the Blues’ trip to Aston Villa on the same day whether the club had knocked back an offer for Ndiaye, Moyes said: “There’s absolutely zero truth in that. If I can get a couple of players in, the club will certainly back me, I’ve got no doubt about that, they’ve been really good.
