# Palace in a four-way battle to sign Oumar Niasse

Everton striker Oumar Niasse is wanted by Crystal Palace, West Brom, Hull City and Sunderland,[according to the Daily Mirror.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/everton-outcast-oumar-niasse-wanted-8599459)

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](https://readcrystalpalace.com/), as [a part of the Toffee’s £25 million move for winger Yannick Bolasie.](https://readeverton.com/2016/08/09/crystal-palace-accept-evertons-25m-bolasie-bid/)

Although [Palace](https://readcrystalpalace.com/) are the front-runners to have the services of Niasse this season, Hull, [West Brom](https://readwestbrom.com/) and [Sunderland](https://readsunderland.com/) are all said to be interested too.

With [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/) 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.
