Ronald Koeman has no intention of allowing Oumar Niasse to revive his Everton career by refusing to include the £13.5 million striker in his squad.

Believe it or not, Niasse, who hasn’t played for the first-team all season, actually scored a goal – A GOAL! – for the Blues’ under-23s in midweek.
While Everton’s start has most certainly been fantastic, it has to be noted that the season has only started and the Merseyside based outfit still have a lot of work to do in order to realize their aspirations of finishing in the top four during the current season.
Koeman also shut the door on out-of-favour striker Oumar Niasse, claiming the Senegal global had no future at Goodison Park.
“I don’t think that changes anything but he’s still a contracted player of Everton”, the Dutchman told United Kingdom newspapers.
With a two to three week timescale according to their club manager Koeman, the duo are touch-and-go at best to be fit in time for Martin O’Neill to include him in his plans.
“Normally, we have enough strikers and different strikers to what he is”.
The Dutchman went on to express his confusion as to why Niasse remained at Everton, even after it had been made clear to him that his future lay away from the club.
“That’s a question for the player”.
He said: “I don’t think that changes anything but he’s still a contracted player of Everton”.

“Football players like to play football, that’s how I see it, and I explained to him why he was not in my plans for the season”.
