Everton striker Oumar Niasse has taken aim at former manager Ronald Koeman.
Niasse says he felt "destroyed" by Koeman during his time in charge of Everton.
"Since the arrival of Koeman, I was the perfect target to destroy. He tried it, but I was strong enough to stay. I had worked so hard for it, so I just had to stay in the Premier League," he recalled to BBC Sport.
"Koeman tried many things to get me away, things that were not fun. He took my locker and my shirt number, I was no longer allowed to eat with the squad and was sent to the juniors.
"It was very difficult. You have to have a good mentality to endure it, because you do not enjoy any respect within the club. It goes too far to use the word slavery, but it was very difficult. That is all I can say about it."
