Cardiff City loanee Oumar Niasse keen to quit Everton and has already chosen where to go - reports

Cardiff City loanee Oumar Niasse is ready to quit parent club Everton - but is unlikely to stay in the Premier League.

That's according to reports in the player's homeland and in Turkey, which have continued to link the 29-year old with a move to Besiktas at the end of the season.

Senegalese outlet Wiwsport claims the forward is keen to "quickly settle down in Turkey’" in a bid to help get his career back on track after a difficult spell in England, with Besiktas believed to be his preferred option.

Niasse arrived at Everton back in 2016 in a bid to bolster the Toffees' forward options, but has netted just 12 goals in 61 appearances in the Premier League, with his time at Goodison Park punctuated by loan spells at Hull City and Cardiff.

What's happened to the Cardiff City players who left the club after promotion  

Despite being a regular under Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock, he's yet to find the net for Cardiff since arriving back in January, and it now appears increasingly unlikely that he'll make his stay in South Wales permanent.

However, despite shelling out £16 million on him, it appears that he isn't in the plans of Everton boss Marco Silva either, and the Toffees could well be ready to listen to offers.

Turkish outlet Aksam claim Besiktas are weighing up a move, but it remains to be seen whether they'll firm up their interest with an official bid.

Fellow Cardiff loanee Victor Camarasa is likely to follow Niasse out the door at the Cardiff City Stadium this summer, with Tottenham, Leicester and West Ham all credited with interest.
