# Everton: Fans react to Cenk Tosun news

**Everton fans have been reacting to the news that Cenk Tosun has entered into talks with Besiktas concerning a return to Turkey.**

Tosun’s spell at Goodison Park has not gone too well. In 2018, the Toffees paid £27m to take him to Merseyside ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11196542/cenk-tosun-joins-everton-from-besiktas-in-27m-deal)), but he failed to justify that lofty transfer fee. In 58 outings he has managed just 11 goals ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/cenk-tosun/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/45671)), with [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.com/cenk-tosun/verletzungen/spieler/45671) thwarting him throughout his time in England.

Now, though, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for all involved. As per Fotospor ([via Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/everton-player-expected-leave-january-exit-toffees-already-lined/)), Everton are in talks with Besiktas in a deal that would see Tosun return to his homeland, with the rumours emerging on the same day his agent insisted the striker is ‘[happy](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/everton-cenk-tos%e2%80%a6rkey-erkut-sogut/)‘ on Merseyside.

The Super Lig outfit would also be a good fit for the [£4.5m-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/marktwertverlauf/spieler/45671) 30-year-old – he has managed [67](https://www.transfermarkt.com/cenk-tosun/verletzungen/spieler/45671) goals in 146 games for the Turkish side and it is from them that Everton signed him in the first place.
