4. His Wife Hails From England
Niasse shouldnt have too much trouble settling in the North West of England as his wife is based in the region - just down the road in the neighbouring city of Manchester. She goes by the Twitter handle of @mizzyjohn and gave her followers a running commentary on his Deadline Day switch with tweets like Hubby's on his way for medical test and "Best of luck baby hope you come home with a blue shirt". The city of Liverpool might be something of a culture shock for the Senegalese striker following his time in the Russian capital, but at least the weather isn't as miserable - its not often you hear that about an English city, is it?
