West Bromwich Albion should consider a move for the Everton forward this summer.
West Brom boss Darren Moore will be desperate to add some more firepower to his ranks at the Hawthorns this summer, and Everton forward Oumar Niasse could be just the man for the job.
The Baggies were woefully impotent in front of goal last season, with their meagre tally of just 31 Premier League goals scored eventually proving to be costly in their fight for survival.
The Black Country outfit were eventually relegated, and Moore will have to go back to basics in order to guide them straight back up to the top flight this season.
The 44-year-old’s first port of call will be to bring in an established striker this summer, and he should target a move for Oumar Niasse, especially if Everton boss Marco Silva spends big on a new forward.

The 28-year-old joined the Toffees from Lokomotiv Moscow in January 2016, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £13.5 million, but he has failed to establish himself at Goodison Park.
Niasse did enjoy a brief renaissance last season, however, scoring 12 goals in 27 outings for Everton, and if he maintains that form, he could be a real asset for West Brom.
He possesses pace in abundance, and that will be vital for the Baggies this season.
Moore’s side currently do not really possesses a threat in behind the opposition’s defence, and Niasse would certainly give them that.
A move to West Brom might just appeal to the nine-capped Senegal international if he was guaranteed regular first-team football, and if Marco Silva does in fact bring a top class striker into Everton, a move to the Hawthorns for Niasse could be the ideal solution for all parties involved.
