Niasse became Everton's third most expensive transfer following his
£13.5m signing in January, but the Senegalese failed to establish
himself under Roberto Martinez, playing just 152 minutes of football.
According to Sky Sports, the 26-year-old has emerged as a target for Sporting Lisbon, Besiktas, Hamburg and Fenerbahce.
He is one of five players who hasn't been given a shirt number for the upcoming 2016/17 season, which should mean that he's pretty much out the door.
