Palace face competition for Niasse

Crystal Palace are on of a host of Premier League clubs that are targeting Everton outcast Oumar Niasse, according to the Daily Mirror.

Sunderland, Hull and West Brom are all said to be interested in signing the striker before the end of this summer’s transfer window.

However, they face competition from Turkish Super League side Besiktas, according to Turkish television station LigTV.

Niasse joined Everton in January for a fee in the region of £13.5m but has made just seven league appearances since then and is out-of-favour under new boss Ronald Koeman.

The Senegal international was also arrested in May on suspicion of assault. With Everton unhappy with his misconduct, they are looking to move him on as soon as possible.

Palace are looking for a striker to support new club-record signing Christian Benteke, who is believed to have cost the Eagles £32m (including add-ons).

Manager Alan Pardew has pressure mounting on him having won just two league games in 2016.
