According to the Daily Mail, Oumar Niasse’s move to Crystal Palace fell through after the agent fee was not agreed.
After a deadline day swoop for players by Palace, Mamadou Sakho and Niasse turned up to Crystal Palace together in order to complete their moves to The Eagles.
Both players were loaned out last season by the scouse Premier League clubs, Niasse to Hull and Sakho to Palace themselves. Both impressed in their temporary stints at the relegation threatened clubs, with Sakho becoming a huge favourite at Selhurst Park and they pursued the player all summer
Niasse made 19 appearances for Hull, scoring five goals and getting one assist, which got Palace interested on deadline day.
However, Palace’s move for a backup to Christian Benteke fell through, as the club could not agree a fee with the player’s agent to facilitate the deal, despite everything else being agreed by all parties.
Everton wanted to move Niasse on, Palace wanted Niasse and Niasse himself wanted a move away but due to the agent, he couldn’t get his move, so don’t be surprised if Niasse has a new agent soon.
