Silva backs Tosun to go on goalscoring spree

Everton manager Marco Silva has backed Turkish striker Cenk Tosun to go on a goalscoring spree following his goal against Fulham at Goodison Park on Saturday, according to a report on the Liverpool Echo.

The striker was in a bad run of form and finally managed to find the back of the net for the first time in the Premier League this season.

It was a simple finish for Tosun, who nodded home from close range after a delightful cross into the box from Theo Walcott.

Silva is hoping that Tosun will now find some goalscoring form over the next few weeks to help Everton move up the table.

The manager said:

I came in and I told him what it was possible for him to do this season and I am happy because he scored an important goal for us in that moment. It is important for him as well.

If something Cenk has, it’s quality in his finishing. It is something he didn’t achieve in the game with West Ham and so it was important he scored on Saturday afternoon and in the future he will score more goals, for sure.

The Toffees face Leicester City in their next league match at the King Power Stadium and Tosun could be in for an interesting battle with Harry Maguire.
