Supporters of Everton have been reacting to the latest report on the possible departure of Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse.
According to Turkish outlet Star, as cited by Sport Witness, the frontman has been offered to Super Lig outfit Besiktas but the club’s manager, Sergen Yalcin, has rejected Niasse on a free transfer (via Everton News Feed), which fans reacted to.

If Everton had to keep one of the two players, which would you rather they kept?Oumar NiasseCenk Tosun

According to the report, Niasse’s agent offered the player to the Turkish club and Besiktas was seen as a possible destination, however, Yalcin was not keen on the 29-year-old.
The Senegalese forward has made three substitute appearances for Everton in the Premier League this season and with a 5.97/10 average rating in those games, he has been the worst-performing player for the Toffees in the league (per WhoScored).
can’t even give the guy away ?

Can’t we throw in Tosun as well? Buy one free, get another free.

Quite what Bobby was thinking about when he bought Niasse is an absolute mystery to me, he wasn’t even cheap.

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses of Everton supporters, they are keen to see the back of Niasse, who has not impressed at Goodison Park with nine goals and four assists over 42 appearances in total (per Transfermarkt).
However, Niasse’s contract with the Toffees is set to expire at the end of June (per Transfermarkt), so Everton fans may not have to wait for all that long until the 29-year-old departs.
