In his first interview as a Crystal Palace player, Cenk Tosun has discussed the persistent efforts of manager Roy Hodgson, Sporting Director Dougie Freedman and club Chairman Steve Parish in securing the forward’s services.
The interview – which can be heard first exclusively on the Official Palace Podcast – covers Tosun’s arrival, his experience of international football and much more.
Commenting on the club’s pursuit of his signature, Tosun said: “It was my first option to stay in the Premier League. I had a lot of offers but as I said, the manager [Hodgson], Dougie Freedman, the owner of the club [Parish], they have tried so much and gave everything for me to play for this club and it was nice to see that they tried so much for me.
