Crystal Palace open talks with Everton over Oumar Niasse loan?

Crystal Palace have opened talks with Everton over a loan move for out-of-favour forward Oumar Niasse, according to a report.

The 26-year-old is unwanted by the Toffees following a disappointing start to life at Goodison Park, having struggled for form and fitness since joining for £13.5m from Lokomotiv Moscow in February.

Sky Sports News reports that Everton are eager to offload the Senegal international this summer, and have therefore offered him to Palace as part of the deal that could see Yannick Bolasie head the opposite way.

Niasse made just seven appearances for Everton last term and has not been given a shirt number by manager Ronald Koeman for the coming season.
