Niasse remains keen to leave Everton

Everton striker Oumar Niasse remains keen to depart Goodison Park, according to Turkish news outlet Sporx.

The Senegalese front man has reportedly told Toffees boss Ronald Koeman of his intentions to leave, and wishes to move to Turkish side Fenerbahce before the Super Lig window closes.

Everton, who lost Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United over the summer, were still looking for a striker, despite the arrivals of Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney and also with Niasse still in their ranks. But it is clear that the 27-year-old is surplus to requirements.

At Fenerbahce, star striker Robin van Persie is reported to have fallen out with the clubs hierarchy, so a new striker could be needed there, and Niasse would be a good addition to their squad.

Niasse, who spent some time on-loan at Hull City last season, was apparently close to joining Crystal Palace in the summer window, however no fee was agreed, and therefore a deal was quashed.
