Out-of-favor Everton striker Oumar Niasse has described his situation at Goodison Park as "sad" but remains determined to thrive in the Premier League.
Niasse joined the Merseysiders in a 13.5 million pound ($16.4M) move from Lokomotiv Moscow in February but has made just seven appearances and is yet to score his first goal for the club.
The Senegal international, who has been banished to train with the Under-23 side, claims Everton tried to get him to leave in the transfer window, but he turned down offers as he wants to play in the English top-flight and believes his treatment by the club is unfair.
