The Everton striker has struggled for minuted since making the switch to England.

Everton splashed out £27 million on the Besiktas forward Cenk Tosun in January, as reported by the BBC, to finally replace Romelu Lukaku.
But he has not had an immediate impact at the club. Sam Allardyce has simply not taken to him and Tosun has spent most of his time sitting on the bench.
But at least he knows if it doesn’t work out for him with Everton, he can always return to his former club. Besiktas vice president Ahmet Nur Cebi has discussed the deal this week with the press in Turkey and revealed that he can always head back to the club, if things don’t pan out at Goodison Park.

He told Haberturk TV, as relayed by Sporx:
“I think he’s happy now, but at Besiktas our doors are always open to him.
“I would love him to come back in the future. And I think at one stage of his career, he will want a return to Besiktas because we have a brilliant atmosphere here, and players want to play for this shirt again.”
Tosun himself has made it clear that his immediate future remains with Everton. He wants to prove himself worthy of first-team football in the Premier League and fans of the club would certainly like to see their expensive new hitman given a go.
At the moment however Everton boss Sam Allardyce is simply not ready to budge on the topic of Tosun. He is currently employing Oumar Niasse as the solitary front-man for Everton and he is performing well in the role, even if he is limited.
Tosun will just have to bide his time and take his chance when it comes. If not, he can always head back home.
