The Everton striker helped Besiktas get to this stage.

Cenk Tosun of Everton look dejected after the Premier League match between Arsenal and Everton at Emirates Stadium on February 3, 2018 in London, England.

It’s the Champions League this evening and Chelsea are in action against Barcelona in the pick of the ties. In the other game however Turkish side Besiktas are looking to cause an upset, as they take on Bayern Munich.

One man who is very keen to see the Turkish side do well is current Everton striker Cenk Tosun.

He posted this message on his Instagram account earlier today, ‘Attack Besiktas’ the slogan:

Saldır Beşiktaşım!

It should come as no surprise the Everton star is hoping for a Besiktas victory.

He is a Besiktas fan and former player. He played a big part in getting the club to this stage of the Champions League for the first time in their history. Tosun scored four goals in six games for Besiktas as they topped a group containing former winners Porto, last season’s semi-finalists AS Monaco and German big-spenders RB Leipzig.

Such form attracted interest from Everton who splashed out £27 million on the forward in January, as reported by the BBC, to finally replace Romelu Lukaku.

He has struggled to make a name for himself since the move to Everton so he will be kicking every ball with his former Besiktas team-mates this evening.
