Oumar Niasse's nightmare at Everton has come to an end (for the time being) after joining Hull City on loan for the rest of the season.

Since signing for the Toffees from Lokomotiv Moscow last February for a reported £13.5m fee, the striker has made just five Premier League appearances, and they were all last season under former manager Roberto Martinez.

In the current campaign, Niasse has not featured once for Ronald Koeman, who later ordered him to train with the Under-23s.

In an interview with The Guardian in October, the Senegal international, who played for just 45 minutes in Everton's pre-season fixtures, revealed that he no longer had a locker in the dressing room.

Now, though, has the chance to get minutes under his belt and revive his career at the KC Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Tigers have also swooped for Evandro, who has joined from Porto on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

After the news was announced, fans took to Twitter to wish Niasse well, while some Everton supporters used the opportunity to rejoice in offloading him.
