West Bromwich Albion are reportedly interested in signing Everton striker Oumar Niasse.

Everton forward Oumar Niasse’s rollercoaster career could come to an end, after reports emerged that a host of Premier League clubs are interested in his signature.

According to reports from the Liverpool Echo, Niasse is being tracked by three Premier League clubs – Crystal Palace, Brighton, and West Bromwich Albion – and Everton boss Sam Allardyce is ready to cash in on the player.

The arrival of £27 million Turkey international Cenk Tosun means Niasse would drop down the pecking order at the club.

The report adds that Everton are looking to recoup most if not all of the £13.5 million they spent on signing him from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2016.

West Brom should make a serious attempt in signing him in January. The Baggies desperately need to bolster their attacking department and Niasse could be a decent option.

What Alan Pardew should consider here is Niasse’s current form. He has made only five Premier League starts this season, and has five goals to his name, and one assist.

He has scored some important goals for Everton this season. Obviously, the signing could be a gamble, but it is a gamble worth taking. He could represent a smart buy for the club in January.
