Everton's new striker Oumar Niasse says he's relishing the chance to play alongside Romelu Lukaku at Goodison Park, describing them as "a good combination".
Niasse who moved from Lokomotiv Moscow to Everton in the January transfer window in a £13.5m deal, says playing in the English Premier League is a "dream" move and "every striker " would want to play alongside Lukaku. The 25-year-old has 13 goals in 23 appearances for Lokomotiv this season and has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal.

Senegal striker Oumar Niasse has to thank ex-Premier League defender for his big break
Niasse knows the huge popularity of the Premier League back home and thinks he can only help the fan base of the Merseyside club:

"People were calling me when are you going to go to England, I know now Everton will win ten thousand fans because of me" back home in Senegal. "I'm going to make Everton to have part in Senegal and Senegal to have part in Everton". And how will he deal with the pressure and huge price tag? His friends and family have tried to give him some advice: "Keep working, don't have a big head, just stay calm".

That's this year's pre-season sorted then

I think he is certainly making the right impression off the pitch - hopefully when he does get on the pitch he proves to be worth it!

....Cape Verdi not far off the coast would be OK.

You just know he's going to play on the left.

 

[peteblue]

I have no idea if this fella is any good or not, can't wait to see him play though........

You just know he's going to play on the left.

If he can do a better job than Kone on the left I for one will be happy

"Martinez says Niasse has had minor surgery on wrist. Next 48 hours will decide if fit. "Outside chance" says RM"

Doubt hell be playing in the cup then!

Just got a similar update on my phone. We've bought a player late in the window, who wasn't fit and now has a slight injury.

Besic is also a doubt but that's not unexpected.

 

[Blue Parkender]

Could we please sign player's who are fit in future.

FFS there's something we aren't being told about this lad - don't know if he's not good enough or just not match fit but it will be over a month since we bought him before he might be in the matchday squad.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

He is never going to play is he?

 

[The Mighty Quint]

would that be Mamadou Sakho, Diafra Sakho, or Bakary Sako?

You missed the one who plays for the RS, Sakho sh!te.

That's quite a leap, even from you.

To help us win if he's any good. If his 20 minutes are better than Kone's 20 minutes, there's your point right there. If he's not, then why did we spunk 13+mil on the feller? I'd like to keep winning matches if that's all right with you. He simply has to offer more than Kone, even if he can only offer it for 20 minutes.

So you are giving him 20 minutes to prove he is better than Kone, when he obviously isn't match fit and never played in the PL, ok then let's do that, and if we had still lost 1-0 and he didn't have much impact, there would be people on here going mental at Martinez for spending 13 million on him.

All i am saying is give the lad a chance to settle, to get to know his teammates etc and then hopefully he will be equipped to handle the PL and be a star player for us in the future. It seems that's the world we live in now though, where everybody wants everything right away, with instant results...
