Everton to sign Oumar Niasse

Everton are close to completing a winter move for Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse, according to reports.

The 25-year-old is said to have caught the eye of several Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea.

However, according to The Guardian, it is the Toffees who have won the chase to land the Senegal international.

Roberto Martinez's side are expected to pay a fee of around £13.5m to sign the versatile forward before Monday's transfer deadline.

Niasse has notched 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for his club this term.
