Everton striker Oumar Niasse has recently spoke out about his future at Goodison Park amid interest from Galatasaray, with Fanatik reporting that he would be open to playing in Turkey.
Based on this news, West Brom must act quickly to snap up the 28-year-old, as he would provide an attacking threat that the club could seriously do with to boost their chances of a return to the Premier League.
Baggies boss Darren Moore will be desperate to add some more fire power to a team who lacked an eye for goal last season, which was just one of a number of issues which resulted in their relegation to the Championship.
Now his side will be more determined than ever to move back up to the top flight – and the Senegalese would be just the player to solve their impotence in front of goal, seeming as he is open to a move away from Goodison Park.
West Brom mustered up a woeful tally of 31 goals in the Premier League last season, which goes to show the team’s loss of attacking threat – however, with his 12 goals for the Toffees last term, that could all be about to change.
The 5’10” (source: Transfermarkt) has the potential to improve upon his form at the Hawthorns, and his goal tally 12 would only increase with regular game time under manager Moore.
The Championship is a long, tough season, and a team’s failure to score goals could see them fall to the bottom of the league and face a struggle to climb back up it again.
Nevertheless, that is not going to happen if West Brom snap up the services of the centre-forward, of whom they must sign to be a genuine threat up front ahead of their Championship rivals.
