Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United are all reportedly keen on signing Everton forward Oumar Niasse.

Everton forward Oumar Niasse is reportedly attracting interest from three clubs in the Premier League.

Since the start of last season, Niasse has been deemed surplus to requirements at Goodison Park and the Senegalese international spent the second half of the most recent campaign on loan at Hull City.

During his time with the Tigers, Niasse netted four goals in 17 Premier League appearances and according to The Sun, that has led to three top-flight teams identifying the 27-year-old as a transfer target.

It has been claimed that Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United are all considering moves for the attacker before the end of August.

Burnley may need to replace Andre Gray - who has less than 12 months remaining on his contract - while Brighton are keen on adding experience to their squad ahead of their first year in the Premier League.

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez also wants to make quality additions and Niasse would provide the Spaniard with options in the final third.
