Cenk Tosun

Cenk became manager Sam Allardyce’s first Everton signing when the Turkish striking sensation joined the Toffees in January 2018.

The forward arrived at Goodison Park after three-and-a-half years with Besiktas, where he scored 41 goals in 96 appearances.

His 20 Super Lig strikes in 2016/17 propelled the Istanbul giants to a second successive Turkish title – and he maintained his terrific strike-rate the following season, netting eight times in 12 league matches before switching to England.

Tosun also bagged four goals in the 2017/18 Champions League group stage – including both in a 2-1 win at the previous campaign’s semi-finalists Monaco – to help Besiktas into the competition’s last-16 for the first time in 31 years.
