Report: Everton already looking to send Cenk Tosun home in January

Everton are already looking to send Cenk Tosun back to Besiktas in January, according to reports. The striker is out until November.

This comes from CNN Turk. They claim that Everton have offered Tosun to Besiktas, the club they signed him from in January 2018. Tosun played 142 games for the club, scoring 64 goals.

The report says Beskitas would like him back, too, but they frequently mention his wages. Tosun apparently earns £1.m-per-year after tax and that figure might be too high for the Turkish side.

The desire is there, though, and if Tosun can match it, perhaps a deal can be done.

TBR View:

Not surprising in the slightest that Everton would look to move Tosun on. He only played five games last season before going on loan to Crystal Palace. He only managed another five games there, however, but an ACL injury ruled him out in March.

But the Toffees are wasting no time in trying to get a January deal done already. Tosun isn’t even fit to play right now, due back in November from his injury.

He has no obvious future with the club, though, and it does make sense to get this one done. Especially if Besiktas, surely the most likely destination, are currently looking for players.

The ball appears to be in Tosun’s court, then. Everton want to move him on, Besiktas want him back – it’ll come down to where Tosun sees his future.

After such an injury, however, it’s hard to see him getting a better deal than this.
