Everton boss Sam Allardyce has conceded striker Cenk Tosun is struggling to adapt to the Premier League and must bide his time for further opportunities.
The Toffees were desperately seeking a new striker in January and signed 26-year-old Turkey international Tosun from Besiktas for £27million in a bid to solve their issues up top.
However, Tosun has started just twice and has been an unused substitute in two of Everton's last three games, including Saturday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
"He is struggling with the pace of the Premier League, which happens to more players than it doesn't who come in in January," Allardyce said.
