Imagine being a professional footballer, at the top of your game and scoring goals, subsequently leading to a dream £13.5m move to one of the biggest leagues in world football - the Premier League. A chance to shine on the biggest platform and realise your aspirations in the beautiful game.
Now imagine that your 'dream' move had been clouded by doubt, uncertainty and indecision by the people who sanctioned the signing of you, playing just 152 minutes across seven appearances in your first six months.
All of the aforementioned is true for Oumar Niasse. The Senegalese had seen the net ripple 13 times whilst laying on a further 10 for his teammates at Lokomotiv Moscow as the Russian Premier League came to a halt for the winter break, before Everton and Roberto Martinez swooped for his services.
