Everton forward Oumar Niasse has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of assault.

The Senegalese player, who joined the Merseyside outfit from Lokomotiv Moscow for a £13.5m fee in February, was questioned by police and later bailed pending further enquiries.

Greater Manchester Police were alerted to an alleged assault at a property on Broughton Lane in Salford on Friday.

According to BBC News, a spokesperson for Everton said that the club "condemns unreservedly any form of abuse. In this case, we understand an investigation is underway to establish the facts."

Niasse has made just three appearances for Everton since joining in the winter transfer window.
