Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly looking to offload the Toffees striker Cenk Tosun in the January window.

According to Sky Sports News, Everton and Palace are in talks with regards to the Turkey international – who is currently out of favour at Goodison Park – potentially moving to Selhurst Park for the remainder of the season.
The report adds that Tosun, who has made just five Premier League appearances this term, does not want to return to the Turkish League and would prefer to stay in the English top flight, or potentially move to the Bundesliga.
Palace are the second-lowest scorers in the Premier League, with just 19 goals in their 21 matches this season, and have suffered numerous injuries, leading to Roy Hodgson being eager to strengthen, particularly up front.
In March 2018, Tosun discussed his switch from Besiktas to Everton amid interest from Palace, and told TRT Sport, as quoted by Goal.com: “Crystal Palace wanted to sign me during the first phase of the season but it couldn’t happen. I’m glad it didn’t because I now play for a bigger club in the Premier League.”
