Oumar Niasse may have been a bit of a cult favourite at Everton, but it is fair to say that not many fans will miss him for his footballing ability.

We covered the news yesterday that Niasse looks set to be released at the end of the season when his contract expires, alongside Cuco Martina and Maarten Stekelenburg who will also be let go.

The Senegal international striker has endured a torrid time on Merseyside since signing from Lokomotiv Moscow in January 2016.

However, even those that wish him well won’t miss him when he departs Goodison Park, with several fans declaring so on social media.
