Everton striker Oumar Niasse has revealed that if he could be granted one last wish, he would bring back to life his deceased father and inform him that he is a Premier League footballer.
The Senegal internationals father did not want him to become a professional footballer and he ended up passing away during his first season as a professional.
He has since said that it would be a dream to have his father watch him in action, even if it was just once.
Many would have thought that Niasse would have been out of his way from the Toffees during the summer but he has proven to be one of the surprise packages for the club this season and has managed to score nine times from 12 games in all competitions.
“Easy, to bring my dad back to life against so he could watch me play, even just for one game,” he said.
“He didn’t want me to play football at first and then he passed away after I’d been playing for just a year.
“If he realised his son was now playing in the Premier League, he’d be so proud. If he was here for one more day, I’d take him to watch me at Goodison Park.
“To win the Golden Boot in the Premier League. It’d be great to be able to tell my kids that I was the top goalscorer here in England.”
