According to reports from
Mirror Football,
Sunderland are targeting
Everton striker Oumar Niasse for a summer transfer.
The Toffees signed the Senegal international in January at a cost of £13.5million but he already appears to be on his way out of Goodison Park after failing to score in seven appearances last season.

Ronald Koeman's side want to use the 26-year-old as a makeweight in their transfer deal for Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie, but Niasse isn't keen on the idea of a season-long loan at Selhurst Park.
However, Everton still have a chance of offloading the speedy forward permanently, with three other Premier League clubs reportedly chasing his signature.
Indeed, Mirror Football claim Hull City, Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion are all targeting Niasse, who arrived on Merseyside after bagging 19 goals in 42 appearances for Lokomotiv Moscow.
The Black Cats and the Baggies are known to be in the market for added firepower, having both fallen short in their transfer pursuits of West Ham forward Diafra Sakho.
