Tosun commits future to Everton despite Besiktas links

Cenk Tosun is not ready to leave Goodison Park just yet.

The forward joined from Besiktas in January of 2018 for a fee of £27 million, and speculation is already rife that he could be heading back to Turkey.

Scoring seven goals in 23 appearances, Tosun has taken something of a back-seat role since the arrival of Marco Silva and wonder-kid Richarlison.

Nevertheless, Tosun has still made 12 appearances so far this campaign for his club.

Speaking to Turkish outlet My Net, Tosun is quoted as saying:

I’ve opened a new page in my career and I’m happy in Everton. The rumours of Besiktas is just gossip,

In four seasons at Besiktas, the centre-forward made himself something of a household name, scoring 64 goals in 142 appearances.

The Turkish national team have also been thankful for Tosun’s exploits, capping him on 29 occasions.

Despite suggestions that both he and fellow striker Oumar Niasse could be leaving Merseyside, it seems that Tosun himself is eager to remain in the Premier League.
