Hull City have opened talks with Everton over a loan deal for striker Oumar Niasse.

The £13.5million January signing has been told he has no future at Goodison by Ronald Koeman and was offered as a makeweight to Crystal Palace in the £25m deal for Yannick Bolasie.

Hull have been struggling to bring in players and have held talks this week with Cameroon forward Benjamin Moukandjo at Lorient and Hungary international Nemanja Nikolic at Legia Warsaw.

Oumar Niasse looks to be on his way out of Everton after failing to impress the club

Niasse, the fourth most expensive signing in Everton's history, is set for a humiliating exit just seven months after arriving.

Only Romelu Lukaku, Bolasie and Marouane Fellaini cost more, with Everton splashing out £28m, £25m and £15m respectively.

Niasse played just 152 minutes for the Toffees under Roberto Martinez, who sanctioned his January switch and claimed they had tracked him for 'a long time'. He has yet to score a single goal for Everton.

Hull are searching for new players after refusing to enter the market earlier this summer

Hull's pre-season preparations were farcical, with manager Steve Bruce resigning from his role due to boardroom uncertainty and transfer market inactivity, which lead to the Tigers starting the new campaign with only 13 fit senior players.
