# Everton Could Cash in on Cenk Tosun after Besiktas Open Door to Signing

[Moise Kean](https://readeverton.com/2021/02/19/ian-wright-thinks-moise-keans-everton-career-is-over/) may not be the only on-loan Everton striker making his loan move a permanent one.

29-year-old Cenk Tosun, on loan at his former club Besiktas, could make his stay in Istanbul a permanent one with the Black Eagles showing an interest in signing Tosun outright.

In a surprise windfall for Everton, the[£27 million 2018 signing](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11196542/cenk-tosun-joins-everton-from-besiktas-in-27m-deal)could return to the club that cashed in on him just three years ago.

According to [Milliyet](https://www.milliyet.com.tr/skorer/son-dakika-besiktasin-cenk-tosun-plani-6433193), Tosun’s instant impact following a debut brace as a substitute produced ‘smiles’ between senior Besiktas executives who feel justified in their transfer decisions.

In a transfer window in which Mario Mandzukic and Brazilian player Hulk [were linked](https://www.milliyet.com.tr/skorer/son-dakika-besiktasin-cenk-tosun-plani-6433193), choosing Tosun over those former free agents appeared to have presented some risk to the Besiktas board.

Conversely, there seems to now be a prevailing belief that Tosun’s arrival has brought with it the same [prolific form](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/45671) that secured his Everton move in the first place.

Besiktas President Ahmet Nur Çebi is ‘looking for ways to bring Cenk Tosun to the team in the coming period’ as a result, indicating a permanent deal is on the cards.

Tosun’s name will be ‘at the top of the list’ during the summer transfer period and could be a way out for Everton who will be keen to offload his [£60,000-a-week wages](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/everton-fc/cenk-tosun-24729/)off their books.

### Read Everton Verdict

If Tosun’s form continues, this has the makings of a deal in which both the buying and selling clubs will be delighted with the outcome.

Tosun was one of a[number of players](https://readeverton.com/2021/02/02/everton-january-transfer-window-success-marcel-brands/) that Everton were keen to offload in January, and a permanent deal would likely suit the long-term objectives of Everton directors.
