The same papers quote the owner pre-OK'ing the transfer as a sign that the deal is done.
Like...who actually made an offer?
Also, if that is Klopp's first target, then I have no worries that they are that far of us. Seriously, if we have learnt anything from the past few months, is that they can attack all too well, but their defending is only slightly better than us.

Will you not miss lukaku and the 20 goals he bring us every season. ? I got a feeling we will miss him a lot.

Exactly. We know that Lukaku's top notch. However he's looked absolutely awful the last few games. Which proves that we shouldn't be writing Niasse off after playing about 80 minutes of football in a team devoid of confidence and ideas.

yesterday makes me think he's been hung out to dry big time by the manager.
Between his comments in the media and the times and game situations he's brought him on in he's killed him in the eyes of many evertonians.
People were genuinely expecting and Ali Dia situation yesterday but he was much better then that. Not even close to a £13.5m player like buy still not a total bust.

Bournemouth set up well against Niasse and Lukaku, both isolated at times. Even though I don't hold out much hope of him fulfilling the price tag. I think he looked better the more touches he had. Pre-season will be massive for him and after that we will know whether he can make it or not.

This 100%! Had a few flashes of decency, but should have been left on when Rom was introduced! barkley should have come off IMO. People have to remember that not all players just slot in? fellaini was absolutely dire in his first season, as was Jags! He may turn out to be another Per Kroldrup, but equally he may not! I wont judge him until next season, when hes had a preseason with our new manager!
I think he just doesn't have the presence or, really, ability, to be a lone striker at this level.
But play him as a second striker or as an inside forward and he showed yesterday that he has enough to his game to add something.

I dont disagree Toff, but better than him have flopped as a lone striker ( see Benteke, Dzeko etc.) even Rom himself is a shadow of the player he is when he has a partner up front! Despite all the Kone vitriol, Rom is undoubtedly a better player with Kone in the side to draw defenders away!

Oumar Niasse arrived to the sound of great expectation... striker was full of effort on his first Everton start but needs to prove worth
By DOMINIC KING FOR MAILONLINE
- Roberto Martinez opted to give Oumar Niasse a start against Bournemouth
- But Senegal striker produced a dismal performance before being subbed
- NIasse had previously played 29 minutes in substitute cameo appearances
- Everton recorded only their fifth Premier League home win of the season

It was 27 minutes in to a run of the mill contest when the ball finally arrived at the feet of the third most expensive footballer in Everton’s history.
Oumar Niasse, a £13.5million signing from Lokomotiv Moscow on transfer deadline day in February, had waited nearly three months to make his first start for Everton but now – with Roberto Martinez electing to rest Romelu Lukaku – his opportunity had come.
For much of the opening exchanges, as Everton and Bournemouth traded a goal each, events had bypassed Niasse and the closest he had come to getting involved was jumping for a long ball from Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Oumar Niasse has done little to justify the £13.5million price tag Everton paid Lokomotiv Moscow in January

Niasse was handed his first start but the striker failed to make a meaningful impact in place of Romelu Lukaku
But then, just before the half hour, Everton launched a counter-attack and suddenly the ball made its way to the feet of Niasse: so he turned, looked up to see where his team-mates where and picked his pass. And gave it straight to Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter.
There has not been much laughter at Goodison Park in the second half of this dismal campaign – except for when Arouna Kone tried a bicycle kick against Southampton and missed completely – but there was laughing here.
Niasse – a Senegal international – arrived to the sound of great expectation and the promise that he would offer a different dimension to Lukaku, the club’s striking talisman. Since arriving, though, he has done nothing to suggest his transfer fee was money well spent.
Before Bournemouth arrived at Goodison, Niasse had played the grand total of 29 minutes in a handful of substitute cameo appearances. He never looked like scoring a goal in any of those games and his efforts during warm-ups raised eyebrows rather than suggested he would quicken the pulse.

Lukaku replaced Niasse after 60 minutes and moments later the Toffees regained the lead at Goodison Park
Martinez, whose future has been the subject of such scrutiny, took a gamble by playing Niasse here and that snap shot in the 27th minute epitomised his afternoon.
Out of tune, off the pace and, bluntly, not very good.
There was nothing wrong with the effort Niasse – who was the player Jose Mourinho had considered taking to Chelsea before his sacking last December – and there were a couple of neat, measured balls to Ross Barkley just before the interval that showed he was not completely hopeless.
But when, in the 60th minute, the electronic substitute board flickered into life and showed that No 10 would be replacing No 14, there was no surprise.
A huge ovation swept around this old stadium as Niasse departed the action but it was more to recognise that Lukaku was entering the fray.
Be under no doubt that Niasse has a huge job on his hands to ensure those cheers turn into acclaim rather than a sign of relief.

I think this is a bit OTT and unfair. It has taken better players than Niasse time to adapt to the Premier League, for the press to be calling him useless already is poor form.
Oh and Yarmalenko is from Ukraine, just saying.
