Everton FC news: Toffees striker Cenk Tosun reveals he was close to joining Premier League rivals last summer

Everton star Cenk Tosun has revealed a potential move to Crystal Palace last summer was '90 per cent' complete only for the deal to fall through at the last moments.

The Turkey international has been in great form for the Toffees of late and bagged another brace against Stoke City on Saturday – his fourth goal in three games.

But it all could have been so different for the 26-year-old had a potential move to Crystal Palace last summer not fallen through at the last minute.

“Over the summer, the transfer to Crystal Palace was 90 per cent,” Tosun told Milliyet.
