Congratulations guys. You just didn't sign a good striker, you signed a great character too. Cenk is no Töre, no Arda Turan... He will not have issues to adapt to a foreign country...
I read messages here that he's championship level but I am not sure how many teams out there, (how many teams from PL???) can finish a CL group stage as the leader - unbeaten leader with 3 consecutive wins... Monaco, Porto and RB Leipzig are not Championship Level and Cenk stormed the defenders of these in addition to his powerful displays in CL last year and national team.
He's at Everton not because he's the top scorer in Turkish Leage, he's here as a result of his CL performance in the last two seasons...And If Cenk was Porto, Leipzig or Monaco player, Everton could not buy him for 27 m Euros...
What is certain with Cenk is: He knows how to score. Right foot, left foot, headers, bicycle kicks, short finishers, powerful long shots... He has them all. He always had this quality but he improved himself surprizingly good with respect to physical endurance and shoulder to shoulder agression with big central defenders...
Cenk is not a player who sometimes durations where he has issues with scoring. The guy is a natural finisher, he doesnt have mental problems - does not care who he's playing against and where...
But what is important for him is the support of the team. He's not guy that takes the ball in the middle and dribbles to score. If the team is effective to find him in or around the box, he will find the net. He can also play the left/right winger in 4-2-3-1 system. Last year there were several matches where aboubakar was the striker and Cenk was the man on the left wing. So if he's not scoring, that will not be only his issue, the team formation and support from the middle field an wingers is crucial...
There will be now a lot of Besiktas fans supporting actively Everton as Cenk is a very important character for us, I believe he will soon begin to shine and not let you down guys...
