Club career
Ouakam
Oumar Niasse started his football career in US Ouakam, a team which was playing in the second tier in Senegal that time. He signed his first professional contract with Ouakam in 2008 and in the 2008-09 season helped his team win the Second League title by scoring 21 goals.[1] Playing as a winger, Niasse played a key role in Ouakam winning the Senegal Premier League title in 2011.[2]
Brann
Niasse started a trial with Norwegian club Brann in February 2012,[3] and after impressing signed for the club on a six-month loan.[4][5] His time in Norway was hampered by poor form and injuries, and he returned to Senegal after playing just three Tippeligaen games.
Akhisar Belediyespor
After a trial period with AS Saint-Etienne, Niasse was offered a contract to join the French club, but refused the deal. He joined the summer camp of the Süper Lig team Akhisar Belediyespor, and signed permanently with them in August 2013.[6][7] Niasse scored on his debut in Turkey, and finished the season with 15 goals.[2]
Lokomotiv Moscow
Before the 2014-15 season, he signed with Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow in July 2014 for a €5.5 million transfer fee.[8] He scored Lokomotiv's equalising goal in the Russian Cup Final against Kuban Krasnodar on 21 May 2015, and his side went on to win 3–1 after extra time.[9] Niasse was voted Russia's Player Of The Year for 2015.[10]
Everton
Niasse joined English club Everton on 1 February 2016, for a fee of around £13.5m on a four-and-a-half year deal.[11][12] He made his first appearance for the club against Bournemouth on 20 February 2016, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Romelu Lukaku.
