Brighton, Burnley chasing Everton striker Oumar Niasse

Everton striker Oumar Niasse is on the move again this summer.

The Sun says Brighton, Burnley, and Newcastle all want Niasse.

Premier League new boys Brighton have moved into pole-position to land the Senegalese striker who is desperate to end his Goodison Park nightmare.

Niasse spent the second half of last season on loan at Hull and hit four goals in 17 Premier League outings.

The 27-year-old joined Everton during the winter transfer window in 2016 — under former Toffees boss Roberto Martinez for £13.5million from Lokomotiv Moscow.

The Merseyside move has been a total disaster for Niasse as new boss Ronald Koeman told the striker he has no future at the club.

The Toffees will allow the forward to leave on loan with an option for a permanent switch, but are looking to recoup at least £10m.
