Player Valuation: £50k
If his FM ratings and attributes are anything to go by he will be a very good signing, he's also had a stellar season for besiktas.
Obviously I'm primarily a Sheffield united fan, but my OH is a proper Evertonian and over the years I've grown a soft spot for them, I have to watch every match with her and wear the shirt and listen to all the foul language lol been to a fair few of the matches in the past three years too.
The thought of Cenk Tosun signing has made me feel excited to watch Everton again tbh and I think this lad is a safe bet he will double in price after a season in the prem and he's definitely got the makeup of a strong two footed poacher who finds himself in the right place at the right time, from what I've seen he looks a lot like Alan Shearer in style.

Cenk is a hardworker.İn one of his latest interviews he said that he works 2-3 hours after the training working on his finishing and his freekicks.By the way he is an amazing finisher.

He’s a risk from a terrible league, it doesn’t matter if he has kicked a ball or not.
The point being made is he’s a risk.

Everton have flown their director of football to Turkey to try to finalise a £20 million deal for the Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun amid fears that the transfer could be hijacked by rivals.
Steve Walsh has travelled to Istanbul for further talks on the future of Tosun, who has been identified as Sam Allardyce’s preferred choice to bolster his side’s attack.
Allardyce has admitted he is worried by the lack of punch from his forward line and those concerns have been compounded by interest from elsewhere in Tosun.
Besiktas claim to have had enquiries from the likes of Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and Roma for the 26-year-old, who has scored 13 goals this season including four in the Champions League.
“It’s in the wind,” said Allardyce. “There’s an interest obviously because we’re actively looking for a front man, but whether we are the ones to complete that deal or not [remains to be seen].
“The interest from other clubs around Europe is our biggest worry if we are to secure that transfer.”
It comes as Allardyce admitted he would sign Steven N’Zonzi “tomorrow,” but will initially prioritise the recruitment of a striker and a full back when the transfer window opens.
Allardyce signed N’Zonzi for Blackburn Rovers in 2009 and will continue to follow the £25 million-rated midfielder during January with Seville ready to sell.
“My position is still to strengthen in more appropriate areas like a front man and full back,” said Allardyce. “At the moment we are running with two full backs.
“I know we’ve got Seamus [Coleman] coming back but he’s been out for a long time and Leighton [Baines] is picking up too many injuries. If we fall foul to an injury with Cuco [Martina] or Jonjoe [Kenny] it’s a problem.
“I know we’ve got Mason Holgate who can play there but I personally don’t see that as his No 1 spot, I see central defence as his best position. At this stage you don’t want people to be filling in. You want them in their best positions, particularly in defence.
“I would take Steven N’Zonzi tomorrow. He is one of my better buys in my lifetime, only €650,000 from France to Blackburn Rovers. He became young player of the year and player of the year in his first season at Blackburn Rovers when we finished tenth.
“He was a terrific pinch out of the French leagues and has gone on to do terrific things in his career.
“For me, knowing him from that age and knowing him now, yes I would like him but with the amount of midfield players I have at the moment I’d have to move some player out to bring a player like Steven in.”
The need for reinforcements in attack was further highlighted by the drab, goalless stalemate with West Bromwich Albion on Boxing Day but Allardyce will not compromise on quality and only wants to bring in players who will improve his squad.
“This back-up rubbish really does do my head in because I’m interested in players better than what I’ve got and only players better than what I’ve got this window,” said Allardyce, who will recall Wayne Rooney after illness for the trip to Bournemouth.
“It may turn out we get very few players because of that. This is Everton Football Club and what people expect from Everton Football Club, with a little bit more money to spend than usual, means I have to get better players than I already have, not back-up players.”

Not really no, there are different levels of risk, and it feels like we have not learnt from Klaassen, these other leagues are too far away, we might aswel shop in the Championship.
