Everton could be forced to keep hold of striker Cenk Tosun for another year after the Turkish international suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Tosun has been an outcast at Everton for some time now, spending part of last season on loan at Crystal Palace.
However, the Turkish forward suffered a cruciate ligament injury that essentially kept Everton from selling him during the off-season.
Tosun recovered from that injury ahead of the last January transfer window, joining former club Besiktas on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
Despite having scored three goals in three appearances in Turkey’s Süper Lig, Tosun has missed several games through injury.
