“It’s a great day for me, a big dream to play in the Premier League and a big dream to play for Everton,” Niasse told the club’s official website.
Galatasaray had been closely linked with the 25-year-old striker during the Hamza Hamzaoglu era.
The current Bursaspor manager was largely credited with putting Niasse on the map during his time at Akhisar signing him for just £175,000.
Niasse became one of the most highly sought after strikers in the Turkish Super League during his time at Akhisar scoring 15 times and providing seven assists in 40 appearances.
Lokomotiv eventually snapped him up on a £3.85 million move in 2014 where he went onto net 19 goals in 42 games.
