Ex-Everton striker Daniel Amokachi has praised the mental courage of Oumar Niasse after winning back his place at Goodison Park.

Niasse has crafted himself a role in the squad this season, scoring 7 goals so far.

He said: "Whether he starts, or comes on for two minutes, you know how he is- he is a warrior.

"When you play for a club like Everton, no matter how you are playing, you have to try to contribute and give 100 per cent whenever you get the call. I had a spell at Everton when it was not going well, but you still try to die for the team. I think that is what the Evertonians appreciate most".
