The end of an error appears to be moving closer.

A very expensive error.

Turkish website Fotospor claim that Everton outcast Oumar Niasse is set for an imminent move to Fenerbahce.

Niasse arrived from Lokomotiv Moscow for a £13.5m fee in January 2016, a figure which seems high even in today's climate.

He failed to score in only seven appearances for the Toffees, but did net five times for Hull City when he joined the Tigers on loan for the second half of last season.

Despite reported interest from Premier League new boys Brighton, Niasse now looks poised to move to Turkey.

Despite clearly not being rated by Ronald Koeman - he was bombed from the first team squad on the evidence of just 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly - he has remained a popular and well regarded figure at Finch Farm.

Following a hat-trick for the Blues Under-23s against Reading, coach David Unsworth said: "Oumar has been great with this group of players - both in training and in games.

"He’s been a great professional and he needs to carry on what he’s been doing."

A legacy of the final few months of the Roberto Martinez regime, Niasse's unhappy Everton experience looks likely to end in this transfer window.
