Ex-Everton midfielder Osman: Great Niasse scoring Hull goals

Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman is delighted for Oumar Niasse over his revival at Hull City.

Niasse struck twice in Hull's win over Swansea City.

"I don't think we actually played alongside each other. He came to Everton in the January for a lot of money and I'll be honest, I didn't see what he's showing now," Osman told BBC Sport.

"He didn't show his qualities and he wasn't taking his opportunities at training.

"You saw how Roberto Martinez treated him and then when Ronald Koeman came in. It's great now to see him having gone to Hull, finding his feet."
