Reds, Hammers and Toffees interested in the striker

Marseille captain Mamadou Niang is reportedly being trailed by a host of Premier League clubs. Liverpool, West Ham and Everton are all understood to be interested in the Senegal international, who scored a wonder goal in the 4-2 win over Montpellier on Saturday. But the 29-year-old skipper has said that although there is interest from the Premier League, he is happy at Marseille. "I am fine here, I have started the season well and Marseille has started the season very well," he told African website Starafrik. "My form is okay, that goal on Saturday was fantastic. I've heard interest from clubs in England but I am here at Marseille and I am very happy." Meanwhile, the French side have agreed a three-year contract with 21-year-old hot prospect Pape Daoudou Mbow. The Senegal Under 20 international defender played at Cannes last season but has put pen to paper at the Stade Velodrome.
