Crystal Palace are keen to take Everton forward Oumar Niasse on loan, according to Sky sources.

The 26-year-old from Senegal joined the Toffees in January this year, since when he has made just five Premier League appearances.

Niasse, who is yet to play a full 90 minutes for the Merseyside club, joined Everton from Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow for a substantial fee of £13.5m.

Reports suggest Palace would like to take him on a season-long loan, having originally moved to Goodison Park on a four-year deal.

The two clubs are supposedly in talks over Niasse who was the Russian Player of the Year in 2015.

Meanwhile, Sky sources also believe Yannick Bolasie could be heading in the opposite direction from Selhurst Park.

Everton would like to sign the midfielder who has been in south London for four years, although Bolasie's possible switch is not linked in any way with the potential deal involving Niasse.

It is understood Palace have not yet agreed to any move that could cost Everton somewhere in the region of £22-30m.
