£20m price tag set by Besiktas for Everton-linked striker

Everton are reportedly one of several top flight teams keen on a move for Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun.

It was claimed last week that the Toffees had already held preliminary talks with Tosun’s agent regarding a potential move to the club, as Everton ramp up their pursuit of a new striker.

However, if they are to lure Tosun to Goodison Park, they will need to cough up a sizable sum of money.

It’s claimed by Turkish news outlet Aksam that Besiktas president Fikret Orman wants big money from the sale of his star striker, and will demand no less than £20m for his signature.

The report states that Newcastle United are the club leading the way in the chase for Tosun, but are still short of his valuation.

Tosun has been in good form for Besiktas this season and is a key player for the Turkish side. It’s no surprise to see Orman demanding such a fee for the clinical striker.
