Out of favour Everton forward Oumar Niasse could be on his way out of Goodison Park this summer as Turkish side Trabzonspor enter talks.
Niasee, who joined the Toffees in 2016 from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow, has struggled to be among the goals on a consistent basis. The Senegalese international has only managed to play 39 times for Everton since his arrival and has scored just nine times in that period.
He was loaned out to Hull and Cardiff City but his performances failed to impress the Everton hierarchy. Marco Silva’s side have been incredibly ambitious in their recruitment this summer and the arrival of Moise Kean from Juventus ended any chance that Niasse had to stay at Goodison Park.
The Toffees still have Cenk Tosun and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in their ranks along with Richarlison who has shown that he is more than capable of playing up top. A big-money move for Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha could still be on the cards and his addition would make Niasse an unnecessary member on the club’s payroll.
Niasse has just one year left on his deal at Everton and this could be the Toffees’ last opportunity to get any significant return on their investment in him.
A move away will also suit Niasse and Everton should look to conclude a deal with his reported suitor in the coming days.
