3 Premier League clubs who should target Everton’s Oumar Niasse

According to Daily Star, Everton are willing to offload Oumar Niasse as they are looking to make room for new arrivals in the transfer market.

Niasse, 29, was brought to Goodison Park in 2016 from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow. He struggled to play regularly and after a year, he was sent on loan to Hull City. He was on the move again to Cardiff City at the beginning of last year and returned to his parent club last summer.

The Senegalese has managed only 40 appearances for the Toffees so far and has failed to claim a spot for himself over the years. This term too, he has struggled to convince his manager and has played only one minute in the league so far.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Moise Kean have been preferred ahead of him to lead the attack and his time at the club seems to be done, with the Toffees making him available in the transfer market despite having few months left on his contract.

In that case, let’s take a look at three clubs who must target the 29-year-old and make use of him for at least until the end of the season.

Crystal Palace

Roy Hodgson’s side have endured a mixed season so far and find themselves at 9th place in the league table. Their recent loss to Derby in the FA Cup has highlighted their inconsistency in both the attacking and defensive areas.

Speaking of attacking unit, the Eagles have just three options up front in Jordan Ayew, Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham. Ayew is their top scorer with 5 goals and the other two have combined to score just one.

This clearly shows they have lacked a proper backup and it would be good if the manager made a quick reinforcement to their forward line. In that case, they can take their chances with Everton’s Niasse, who has still got time left to showcase his talent, be it as a cover for their first-choice.

He would be a better option as he has got some experience in the league and this could help Hodgson in distributing the duties equally according to their ability.

Brighton

Another one of the top-flight clubs to have very few members in the attacking ranks is Graham Potter’s Brighton. First-choice striker Neil Maupay has done brilliantly so far with 7 goals to his name and looks to be growing in confidence.

Aaron Connolly (19), though he has performed decently, is too young to lead the attack for the rest of the season. Glenn Murray (36) is beyond his prime and the manager should take this opportunity to rope in an experienced player, who can guide them in demanding situations.

Therefore, Niasse’s addition to the team could provide the manager with some depth in their ranks. He would not be just a backup but can also play a key role if Maupay is unavailable for selection.

Aston Villa

The Villans are in dire need of a striker, with Wesley Moraes starting consistently until the game against Burnley, which has forced him out of action for a long time. An ACL injury to him has put the club in a dangerous position without any established striker.

Jonathan Kodija and Keinan Davis have failed to live up to the standards of the Premier League this season and they have been pushed away.

Dean Smith could get rid of the lack of options up front if he decides to hand Niasse a chance. The Senegal international would be the right choice to fill the void and play a huge role in their redemption.

Bruno Fernandes Reveals What He Admires About Jess Park’s Game as Man United Captain Praises Fellow Number Eight’s Smashing Season

Bruno Fernandes' admiration for Jess Park's impressive skills as he praises her standout season.

Bruno Fernandes is a big fan of Manchester United Women midfielder Jess Park. The Portugal international shares the number eight shirt with Park and has been impressed by her debut campaign following her summer move from Manchester City.

Park has registered nine goals and five assists since joining from crosstown rivals in an impressive first season. The England international has won United’s Player of the Month award a team high four times, which demonstrates her consistent quality.

Not as Easy as It Looks

Fernandes watched back some of Park’s best moments for United, including her Goal of the Month winner against the London City Lionesses. The midfielder came in off the left flank to beat her marker before driving into space and picking out the far bottom corner.

“It all starts with the first touch. She gets the control there away from the player, she gets a lot of space to then run. Then the speed to run quick like that and then to be very accurate with the shot, it’s a very good thing. It’s not as easy as it looks,” Fernandes explained, which is an absolutely spot on analysis.

Lot of Futsal in That Goal

The United captain also praised Park’s winner against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. Park helped start the move with a dribble from deep before getting into the box and finishing by picking out the far top corner.

“We spoke about the number eight shirt, and she was in the middle, creating and dictating the tempo. Then she follows up and she ends up in the box with the opportunity to finish. I think the finish is fantastic. There’s a lot of futsal in that goal there,” Fernandes said.

Very Quick With Her Feet

Fernandes watched Park’s solo effort at Aston Villa, which won another Goal of the Month prize. “She’s very quick with her feet and goes onto her left foot, which the defender was probably not expecting,” he acknowledged.

Khadija Shaw Scores Record Breaking Hattrick in ‘This’ Time as Manchester City Thrash Tottenham 5-2

Published

Khadija Shaw's incredible hat trick in 21 minutes propels Manchester City to a 5-2 victory over Tottenham, securing a commanding lead in the title race.

Khadija Shaw produced a sensational performance at the Joie Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Jamaican striker netted a hat trick in just 21 minutes as Manchester City demolished Tottenham 5-2 to extend their lead at the summit to seven points with four matches left.

Shaw’s treble set a new WSL record for the fastest three goals, beating Kelly Smith’s mark from 2014. City responded emphatically to last weekend’s goalless draw at Aston Villa, with Kerolin and an Amanda Nilden own goal completing the rout before halftime.

Fourth Successive Treble Against Spurs

Shaw opened the scoring in the eighth minute, giving City an early advantage. Spurs hit back immediately through Olivia Holdt, which briefly threatened to make things interesting. However, the Cityzens’ response was brutal and decisive.

Shaw restored the lead with a towering header just two minutes later. Her third arrived shortly after breaking Smith’s 12 year record, which is absolutely remarkable. It marked Shaw’s fourth successive hat trick in home league games against Tottenham, which demonstrates her dominance over Martin Ho’s side.

Cruised to Victory After Halftime Blitz

Lauren Hemp provided the assist for Kerolin’s fourth before Vivianne Miedema saw her header deflect in off Nilden. Five goals before the break allowed Andree Jeglertz to rest key players in the second period.

Spurs grabbed a late consolation through Beth England but suffered back to back WSL defeats for the first time this season. City, meanwhile are closing in on its first title since 2016, which is frankly long overdue for a club of their stature.

Shaw now has 18 WSL goals this campaign, double the tally of her nearest challenger. A third consecutive Golden Boot appears certain alongside the championship trophy.

The timing coincides with a crucial period for Natalia Arroyo’s side, who sit ninth in the Women’s Super League table. Villa have lost their last four WSL matches, including the recent defeat to Manchester City, and desperately need points in their remaining fixtures.

Sale Follows Launch of Originals Collection

The flash sale follows last month’s launch of the Aston Villa adidas Originals Collection, which includes retro tracksuits, tees, and jumpers. The Originals Track Top costs £85, while the Crew Sweater is priced at £75, with both items featuring classic claret and blue designs.

However, select sizes in the Originals range have already sold out, demonstrating the popularity of Villa merchandise among supporters. The club’s store, run by Fanatics, has received thousands of positive reviews on Trustpilot, with customers praising quick delivery and product quality.

Villa supporters attending upcoming matches at Villa Park will now be able to do so in official club colors without breaking the bank, thanks to this limited time offer.
