Everton Remain Hopeful Over £30m Tosun Deal as Besiktas President Reveals Rejected Chinese Bid

Everton remain hopeful of completing a reported £30m deal for Cenk Tosun on Wednesday despite Besiktas' president warning the Toffees to pay the strikers' going rate.

A delegation of Everton officials will allegedly meet with the Turkish side's president Fikret Orman in London on Wednesday in a bid to thrash out a deal for Tosun, according to the Guardian.

However, Orman has urged the Blues to stump up the 26-year-old's asking price as soon as possible (via the Liverpool Echo) after he revealed that Besiktas had already rejected a £30m bid from an unnamed Chinese Super League club for the prolific frontman.
