The striker will not be leaving Everton during this transfer window.
There have been several times when Oumar Niasse’s Everton career has appeared to be over but the striker will certainly be remaining at Goodison Park until the summer at least.
Niasse enjoyed a purple patch in front of goal earlier in the season having previously been frozen out at the club, and, after seeing his playing time limited a little in recent weeks, he has bounced back again, scoring against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend as a substitute in the 1-1 draw.
After the game Everton manager Sam Allardyce revealed that he will be keeping Niasse, as reported by the Liverpool Echo, despite interest from Crystal Palace.
Retaining the services of the Senegalese striker is certainly the correct decision, especially when it is taken into consideration that he has scored six goals in 12 Premier League games this season.
Cenk Tosun, who joined from Besiktas recently, will inevitably take time to adapt to English football, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is hard-working but not exactly prolific, meaning that there could be a lot of responsibility on Niasse to help ensure that Everton, who are currently six points clear of the drop zone, avoid relegation.
