Niasse determined to stay in the top fight

Everton had apparently agreed a six-month loan deal with promotion-chasing Leeds United this month but the striker rejected it.

Now there are reports that Niasse has turned his nose up at a move to Nottingham Forest until the end of the season.

Niasse is in the last six months of a 4½-year contract with Everton and can leave the club in the summer. Marcel Brands is keen to get his salary off the wage bill for the next six months, however, and is therefore trying hard to secure him a loan deal before the transfer deadline.
