Everton misfit Oumar Niasse could be set for a return to Russia.

The striker moved to Goodison Park from Lokomotiv Moscow for £13.5m in February but has made just seven appearances.

Ronald Koeman has told Niasse he is free to leave this summer after he wasn't given a squad number.

And now Niasse could be heading back to Russia before Wednesday's deadline, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Lokomotiv Moscow have enquired about re-signing the 26-year-old while city rivals Spartak are also interested in taking Niasse on loan.

Hull City asked about the forward earlier in the window and could still make a late move to take the Blues flop on loan before tonight's 11pm deadline.

Niasse has not been given a squad number this season and Koeman recently said: “If he likes to play football then he needs to leave Everton.”
