Everton, Aug 22: Senegal international Oumar Niasse's struggling spell at Everton could soon be over after some of the reports from Turkey suggested that Fenerbahçe are set to sign him.

Many reports have revealed that an arrangement is set up with the Senegalese striker who could join the Turkish side who earlier signed stars Soldado, Van Persie etc.

However, the mode of the transfer is not yet disclosed but it is believed that it is unlikely that the Toffees will receive as many as £13.5m for the forward whom Roberto Martinez signed in his second year.

Niasse spent last season on loan at Hull City, after falling out with manager Koeman and he made a decent performance there for the Tigers, scoring five goals however he couldn't keep their status in the Premier League.

Now he has been linked with a move to Turkey on various events, with both Galatasaray and Besiktas specified as genuine suitors over the last year, however, none of the moves materialised as expected.

Premier League outfits Brighton were also linked with the forward recently, however, now it appears that Fenerbahce have beaten them all to his mark.

Niasse knows the environment the Turkish Super Lig as the Everton forward put in two years at Akhisar Belediyespor before gaining himself a move to Lokomotiv Moscow and his move to Turkey now can make his career on song again as he will have more game time to re-establish himself.
