Attacker reportedly rejects Everton as he wants Arsenal move

Emirates Stadium

According to reports, M’Baye Niang has rejected the chance to join Everton as he awaits an offer from Arsenal.

Niang spent the second half of this past season on loan with Watford and though he did looks promising during the early parts of his spell with the Hornets, his performances were less than impressive towards the end.

Despite his inconsistent performances, Toffees manager Ronald Koeman is said to be a fan of Niang and submitted a bid of €15 million for him which was accepted by Milan.

However the French attacker has opted against a move to Goodisan Park and is said to be awaiting an offer from Arsenal.

Niang is renowned for his pace and though he has yet to make a significant impression in the world of football, a move to the Gunners will be appealing considering it will allow him to play for one of the most respected teams in England.
