Niasse is on the sidelines at Everton after being ostracised by Marco Silva.
Senegalese outlet WIWSport claim Crystal Palace have tabled an offer worth £6.3million to sign Everton striker Oumar Niasse this month, as the Toffees forward remains frozen out by Marco Silva.
The 28-year-old has managed just 58 minutes of Premier League action all season, making his first appearance in the league on December 29 for three months. He came on as a substitute for 10 minutes in the loss to Brighton.
Silva has decided to play Richarlison as the club’s centre-forward of late, meaning Niasse has slipped down the pecking order. Cenk Tosun and Dom Calvert-Lewin also remain above the former Lokomotiv Moscow star.
Now, Palace have looked to end Niasse’s nightmare Everton spell which has seen manage just 39 appearances in all competitions for the Merseyside outfit since his move from Russia in January 2016.
Palace are on the lookout for a new striker, after Roy Hodgson admitted that the club had decided not to sign Liverpool’s Dom Solanke earlier this week despite talks being at a latter stage.
It appears Palace have moved on quickly and have submitted a seven-figure offer for Niasse, who has nine Senegal caps to his name. In a move that will benefit all parties involved, it may be just the price tag that requires discussion.
Everton paid a reported £13.5million to sign Niasse when Roberto Martinez was in charge and they will be looking to rake as much of that fee back to Goodison Park as possible. But Niasse’s value has certainly reduced.
