1. His Stats Trump Those Of Arouna Kone

Niasse is likely to find himself competing with fellow Everton forward Arouna Kone for game time - and a recent stats comparison between the two players paints a clear picture of who should be higher in the pecking order. Fantasy Football game www.oulala.com analysed the performances of both forwards and found Niasse€™s stats to be superior, despite the Senegalese having less game time. Everton€™s new recruit has a minutes-per-goal ration of 146, compared to Kone€™s 245. Niasse also has more shots at goal than his new teammate, with an average of 3.6 per game versus the Ivorian€™s 1.5. Ariels duels won, successful take-ons, and chances created also swung in the former Lokomotiv Moscow man€™s favour, suggesting Kone€™s place in the team is under serious threat.
