Niasse has been linked with a move away from Everton.
Turkish newspaper Fanatik have claimed that Everton striker Oumar Niasse and Champions League outfit Galatasaray have agreed a deal, and all that remains is for Everton to sanction a move.
Niasse, 28, remains firmly down the pecking order beneath Dom Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun, managing just 48 minutes of Premier League football this season – spread across four substitute appearances.
The Senegal international has long been linked with a move away from Everton following his £13.5million (Everton’s official site) from Lokomotiv Moscow in January 2016 under Roberto Martinez.
Playing just 38 times for Everton in almost three years, and scoring a goal at a cost of £1.5million with just nine to his name in a Toffees shirt, it is safe to say that Niasse has flopped at Goodison Park.
Now, it has been claimed that Niasse has told Gala that he is “ready to come” to Turkey and end his nightmare Everton spell. The report says both Niasse and Gala have agreed a deal in principle.
But it also claims that they must now take on the more difficult part, convincing Everton. It is believed that meetings will take place in the near future in a bid to thrash out a deal for Niasse.
It remains to be seen if a move will be a permanent one, or indeed a loan option with a permanent clause included. Niasse has a contract at Everton until the end of the 2019-20 season.
