Niasse: Street Football Gave Me Fighting Spirit

Oumar Niasse says growing up playing football on the streets of Senegal has given him the never-say-die attitude that has made him a hit with Evertonians since his return to the side.

The forward, a February 2016 signing from Lokomotiv Moscow, has bagged four goals for the Blues since netting in a Carabao Cup game against Sunderland in mid-September in what was his first appearance for more than a year.

He later came off the bench to score twice as Everton came from a goal down to beat Bournemouth 2-1 at Goodison Park and was instrumental as the Blues overturned a two-goal deficit to record a dramatic 3-2 victory over Watford last time out.
