Oumar Niasse is the latest striker to appear on the Newcastle United wanted list.

According to a report in The Sun the Everton striker is available for transfer with Newcastle, Brighton and Burnley in the hunt.

Niasse scored four times on loan to Hull for the second half of last season after being written off by Ronald Koeman despite costing £14m from Lokomotiv Moscow.

Brighton appear to be the front runners to sign the Senegal internationalist who is looking to get out of Goodison as quickly as possible.

Newcastle have still to sign a striker since clinching promotion with top target Tammy Abraham opting to go on loan to Swansea rather than to St James’ Park.

Rafa Benitez has prioritised signing a striker, with two weeks to go until the opening Premier League match of the season at home to Spurs the clock is ticking down with Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic the only strikers available.
