Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock has suggested he could be interested in Everton striker Oumar Niasse.

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock has jokingly suggested on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 24th May, that he would be interested in signing Oumar Niasse from Everton.

Reports in The Sun have suggested that Niasse is at the heart of a dressing room split at Everton.

But Warnock has commented that he would have no problem taking the forward off Everton’s hands, if he was made available.

The Cardiff boss said: “I think they should let him go for about £1 million to me, and let me have the problem. Then your dressing room will be perfect!”

Niasse has fought to earn a place back at Everton, as it looked like he had no future under Ronald Koeman.

The Senegalese international has hit nine goals across all competitions for the Toffees, and proven a valuable asset at times.

Niasse’s work-rate has made him a popular figure at Goodison Park, even though he has not ever been a particularly regular starter.

Cardiff have just been promoted to the Premier League, and Warnock may well be on the look out for a new striker.

Kenneth Zohore leads the line for Cardiff, but they will need more firepower if they are to compete in the top flight.
