Everton are edging closer to signing Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse, according to reports from The Guardian.
The 25-year-old is expected to undergo a medical on Monday morning and finalise his personal terms on a £13.5m transfer from the Russian club.
He has scored 12 goals and registered 10 assists this season in 21 games for Lokomotiv, and was voted the Russian Premier League’s player of 2015.
Niasse is known for his strength and explosive pace, and his playing style is perfect for the Premier League.
