Tosun has golden opportunity to open goalscoring account against West Ham

Everton striker Cenk Tosun has the best possible chance of opening his account for the season against West Ham.

The Turkey international is yet to get off the mark for the Toffees having played in four games so far.

Marco Silva’s side have made a decent start as a collective, racking up six points via one win and three draws.

They currently sit seventh in the table and have a fantastic chance to climb higher with a victory over West Ham at Goodison Park this Sunday.

And Tosun will be hoping for some joy in the goalscoring department, after notching a couple of assists so far.

While it’s good that the ex-Beskitas man, signed in January for £27 million, is still contributing, everyone knows that strikers live and die by scoring goals.

One man who knows all about that is former Toffees striker Kevin Campbell, who has been speaking about Everton’s main man.

‘There’s going to be a lot more chances coming his way’

Speaking to evertontv, as quoted by the club’s official website, Campbell said: “When I came in I hadn’t played for a few weeks but I looked at the players and thought, ‘Look at that supply line. Get yourself up to speed and you can get yourself some goals’.

“I’m sure Cenk Tosun is rubbing his hands together because with those players in midfield and out wide supplying him crosses, he’s going to be licking his lips. He knows there’s going to be a lot more chances coming his way with this group of players.”

Unfortunately for Tosun though, Richarlison is suspended and Theo Walcott and Bernard may not be passed fit.

West Ham don’t know what a clean sheet is

Tosun will still be licking his lips for the visit of the Hammers this weekend though.

Manuel Pellegrini’s team sit bottom of the pile in the Premier League after four games.

Although they have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, one thing that remains a concern for the Chilean is the fragile backline.

The Irons have shipped 10 goals already – which is the joint-worst defensive record in the division.

If Tosun is going to start scoring, now is absolutely the time.

Angelo Ogbonna and Fabian Balbuena have looked all over the place so far and Tosun must try and exploit that.

Although he isn’t playing badly, he can’t allow himself to get into a goal drought.
