Niang, a target for the Blues a few years ago under David Moyes's tenure when he was an even more raw teenager, was reported by the Liverpool Echo to have been at Finch Farm yesterday along with Davy Klaassen, suggesting that a deal to keep him in the Premier League was close.

Italian site Calcio Mercato have since claimed that the 22-year-old had asked for time to consider a £15m move to Goodison Park after rejecting the chance to make his loan move to Watford permanent.

Now, a French media source working for DiMarzio says that Niang won't be joining Everton as "his profile was not convincing" to the Blues.
