Niasse helped inspire Everton to a 4-1 win over Spurs, just 24 hours after the fits team had been beaten 3-0 at the same stadium by the North London club’s first team.
The striker was signed by former boss Roberto Martinez but did not hit the ground running and has not been part of Ronald Koeman’s plans.
He signed on loan with Hull City last season and impressed, and had been due to sign with Crystal Palace for this season until his move broke down on transfer deadline day.
Niasse is now letting his football do the talking, and with Everton struggling for goals in the first team, a call up may not be out of the question if he can keep producing for the under-23s.
