Oumar Niasse is said to be wanted by four Premier League clubs, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Senegal striker made the move to Goodison Park in January from Russian outfit Lokomotiv Moscow, for a reported £13.5 million.
The 26-year old has told Everton that he won’t be loaned out to Crystal Palace, as a part of the Toffee’s £25 million move for winger Yannick Bolasie.
Although Palace are the front-runners to have the services of Niasse this season, Hull, West Brom and Sunderland are all said to be interested too.
With Liverpool striker Christian Benteke inching ever closer to a move to Selhurst Park, Niasse is concerned that the Belgian frontman might take first team minutes away from him.
With the situation now in a stand-off, Everton may be forced to cut their losses and allow the forward to move to one of those three other top-flight teams vying for his talents.
