Everton striker Oumar Niasse is on the verge of joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal, according to reports.

The 26-year-old only moved to Goodison Park in January, signing a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Toffees following a £13.5m switch from Lokomotiv Moscow.

However, he made only two Premier League starts for the club during the 2015-16 campaign and was on the pitch for just 142 minutes in the top flight, failing to score in that time.

New manager Ronald Koeman reportedly does not see the Senegal international as part of his plans either, and Caught Offside claims that the clubs have agreed a €1.5m (£1.25m) loan fee for the player.

The report goes on to say that Galatasaray have agreed terms with Niasse, but that the Turkish outfit want the option to sign the striker for €5m (£4.2m), whereas Everton are holding out for €6.5m (£5.4m).

Niasse has past experience in the Turkish league having scored 15 goals in 40 appearances for Akhisar Belediyespor during the 2013-14 campaign.
