Everton completes £13.5M Niasse capture

Oumar Niasse has joined Everton as Roberto Martinez lands the attacking help he wanted in the transfer window.

Everton has completed the deadline-day signing of Lokomotiv Moscow attacker Oumar Niasse for a fee of 13.5 million pounds ($19.5 million).

The Senegal international, 25, has agreed to a four-and-a-half-year contract after undergoing a medical on Monday.

Niasse becomes the third-most expensive signing in club history, behind his new strike partner Romelu Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini, who is now at Manchester United.

Niasse joined Lokomotiv in July 2014 and scored in the final as his side won the Russian Cup in 2015.
