Everton manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed that striker Oumar Niasse will not be sold this month after the forward earned a draw for the Toffees with a goal against West Bromwich Albion, according to a report on the Liverpool Echo.
The striker has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park this month after Everton secured the services of Turkish striker Cenk Tosun from Besiktas, but Allardyce is keen to keep Niasse.
The manager wants him to remain with the Merseyside club until at least the end of the season and has warned all potential suitors to keep away from his striker.
He said:
No I can’t let Niasse go, there’s no danger of that. There is no way we can let Oumar go. We’ve given Dominic (Calvert-Lewin) the weekend off because of the huge amount of games he’s played.
We need those three between now and the end of the season. We haven’t had a lot of goals, we’re trying to increase our goal-scoring capacity but my problem was the goal we gave away, not just the performance, but the goal.
The Senegal international has been linked with a move to fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace, but Allardyce has made it clear that he will not be going anywhere in this transfer window.
The manager started life as Everton boss really well but has seen some poor results recently, which have again led to relegation fears for the club.
