Oumar Niasse seems to be finished in the Premier League and at Everton – Turkish Super Lig winners Galatasaray want to take him from Goodison Park.

Oumar Niasse has been linked with an exit from Everton throughout the last three transfer windows and the striker’s future is once again set to come under question.

According to Fanatik, officials from Galatasaray are expected to discuss a deal for Niasse, who is one of the first names on the Turkish Super Lig champions’ wish list this summer.

Gala, who beat Istanbul BB to the domestic crown earlier this month to conclude a nail-biting title race, are looking for attacking reinforcements with Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri and Celta Vigo’s Turkish international Emre Mor also under consideration.

But Fanatik report that Niasse is keen to leave Everton this summer and is open to a return to Turkey. The Senegalese international played for Akhisar Belediyespor between 2012 and 2014, scoring 12 goals in 34 league appearances.

And it would be little surprise if Everton decided to let Niasse go.

The former Lokomotiv Moscow man, who arrived at Goodison Park in January 2016 for £13 million, enjoyed his best season in the Premier League in 2017/18, scoring eight goals in 10 starts.

But he remains a back-up option at best and with Everton keen to sign another striker to compete with Cenk Tosun, Niasse’s opportunities will surely decrease further.
