Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town are reportedly plotting respective January moves to sign Oumar Niasse from Everton.
The Senegalese attacker was linked with a move to Selhurst Park midway through last season but no transfer materialised.
However, with first-team football still eluding the former Lokomotiv Moscow star at Goodison Park, it seems he will be allowed to move on when the transfer window opens.
It is reported by TEAMtalk that Toffees boss Marco Silva is prepared to sanction the departure of Niasse on a loan deal until the end of the current season.
The 28-year-old has been scarcely utilised by Everton in the first half of the campaign, leading to speculation surrounding his short-term future at the club.
Both Palace and Huddersfield have struggled in the final third this term and could explore the possibility of recruiting new attackers in the January transfer window.
Niasse has found himself behind Cenk Tosun, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the pecking order of forwards under Silva.
