Hull City have opened talks with Everton over a loan deal for striker Oumar Niasse.
The £13.5million January signing has been told he has no future at Goodison by Ronald Koeman and was offered as a makeweight to Crystal Palace in the £25m deal for Yannick Bolasie.
Hull have been struggling to bring in players and have held talks this week with Cameroon forward Benjamin Moukandjo at Lorient and Hungary international Nemanja Nikolic at Legia Warsaw.
Niasse, the third most expensive signing in Everton's history, is set for a humiliating exit just seven months after arriving.
