Everton maintain stance on Oumar Niasse?

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has reportedly not had a change of heart over his assessment of striker Oumar Niasse.

Last season, it soon became clear that Niasse did not feature in Koeman's plans and although he remained at Goodison Park for the first half of the campaign, he was eventually loaned out to Hull City.

The 27-year-old impressed during his temporary spell at the KCOM Stadium, scoring four goals from 17 Premier League matches, but it appears that has not been enough to influence Koeman.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Niasse is still available for transfer and with his contract not expiring until 2020, Everton are in a position where they do not need to sell him on the cheap.

Burnley have been linked with a move for the Senegalese international, while other top-flight clubs in England are likely to be keen on the attacker.
