Everton's Allardyce rules out January exit for Oumar Niasse

The Toffees are keen on keeping the 27-year-old forward amid speculations linking him away from Merseyside

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed that Oumar Niasse will not be leaving the club during the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Goodison Park due to limited playing time and the arrival of Cenk Tosun from Besiktas.

Niasse was introduced as a 69th-minute substitute in Saturday's Premier League game and scored to salvage a point for the Merseyside outfit in their 1-1 West Bromwich Albion.

With six goals already in 12 league appearances this campaign, the former West Ham United boss said that he wants to keep Senegal international beyond the winter transfer window.
