# Everton: Fans plead for Marco Silva to start Cenk Tosun vs Southampton

**Everton supporters have been [pleading](https://twitter.com/thetoffees_com/status/1191294378888839169?s=12) that Cenk Tosun should start in their next Premier League game against Southampton on Saturday.**

The Toffees came from behind to [share the spoils](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50282791) against Tottenham on Sunday after falling behind in the second half to a strike from Dele Alli. However, the Turkey international saved the day as he came off the bench to score a 97th-minute header to ensure that the Blues did not walk away from the game without any points.

Tosun signed for the club in 2018 for [£27m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11196542/cenk-tosun-joins-everton-from-besiktas-in-27m-deal) and has scored [10 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/45671) in 47 appearances for Everton, including [five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/45671). The 28-year-old will have given manager Marco Silva a selection headache after his Sunday heroics and has only featured [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/profil/spieler/45671#subnavi) times during the current campaign.

Despite spending just [57 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/profil/spieler/45671#subnavi) on the pitch in league action this term though, fans are keen to see Tosun start ahead of the crucial fixture away at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.

Here you will find some of the many responses from Everton fans:
