Porto line up Niang to replace Falcao

Europa League winners Porto are weighing up a move for Fenerbahce striker Mamadou Niang, according to AS.

The Portuguese giants are in negotiations with Atletico Madrid over the sale of Radamel Falcao Garcia and they are actively looking for a new centre forward.

With the season set to start, the Dragons are hoping to sign a striker who can immediately slot into the starting line-up and they have set their sights on Fenerbahce striker Mamadou Niang.

The 31-year-old only moved to Turkey last summer from Marseille, but is reportedly looking to leave the Canaries following the match-fixing scandal that is rocking Turkish football.

Niang has been in fine form for Fenerbahce last season, having scored 15 goals in 29 league games, thus helping the Canaries win the Turkish Super Lig title.
