Niasse joins Cardiff on loan from Everton
Everton have allowed out-of-favour striker Oumar Niasse to join Cardiff City on loan until the end of the season.
Cardiff City have sealed the loan signing of Oumar Niasse from Everton.
The striker has made five substitute appearances in the Premier League this season and last scored for the Toffees in May 2018.
Niasse arrives to boost Cardiff's battle against relegation, with Neil Warnock's side a point and a place above the bottom three.
"I'm really pleased to be at Cardiff City," the Senegal striker told the club's website after joining on a deal to the end of the season.
"Having heard about the manager from other players and met him earlier today, I knew this was the right move for me.
"Other clubs were interested, but I was convinced that this was where I wanted to come."
