Everton's Cenk Tosun has admitted that he was ready to leave the club on loan in January in search of more time on the field.
The Turkey international began the 2018-19 Premier League campaign as Marco Silva's first-choice centre-forward, but has since struggled to hold on to his starting spot in the Portuguese's plans.
Brazilian forward Richarlison, brought in from Watford last summer for a £35 million fee, has been deployed in the central role more than a few times, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also been given time to try and prove himself at the highest level in England.
