Newcastle United, Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion are all being credited with interest in the Everton outcast.
Newcastle United are among the clubs chasing Everton striker Oumar Niasse, according to The Sun.
Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion are also credited with interest in the Senegalese, but it is the Seagulls who are said to be in pole position to sign him.
Everton’s former Hull City loanee Oumar Niasse
Niasse moved to Everton for £13.5 million 18 months ago, but has played only seven times for the Toffees and not once under Ronald Koeman.
He spent the second half of last season on loan to Hull City, where he impressed with four goals in 17 appearances. And that appears to have caught the eye of Everton’s Premier League rivals, Newcastle, Burnley and Brighton, after Koeman is said to have told Niasse he has no future at the club.
It is claimed that Everton will allow the 27-year-old to leave on loan with an option for a permanent deal, for which they would look to recoup £10 million.
Newcastle are considering loan moves for Premier League strikers, according to The Chronicle, but Burnley and Brighton could also be in need of reinforcements.

Burnley are at risk of losing their Newcastle-linked top scorer Andre Gray this summer, while Brighton are down to two fit centre forwards after Sam Baldock’s injury.
