Chelsea and Tottenham to battle Galatasaray for bargain striker Oumar Niasse
CHELSEA and Tottenham have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Lokomotiv striker Oumar Niasse.
Oumar Niasse is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League
Galatasaray are also said to be keen on the 24-year-old and reports from Turkey claim the attacker could be available on the cheap.
Turkish newspaper Fanatik say that Lokomotiv are looking to sell the Senegal international and would accept a fee of around £4.4million.
And the young forward is said to be equally up-beat about a move away from Russia, with the Premier League his preferred destination.
Niasse has struggled for a regular place in the Lokomotiv squad, making just seven appearances this season, but has scored three times.
