Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin is enjoying working with January transfer signing Cenk Tosun.
Tosun joined Everton from Besiktas in the January transfer window for a fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £27 million.
The Turkey international forward has scored four goals in five Premier League starts for the Tofffes since his switch from January.
Everton forward Calvert-Lewin, who earns £12,000 per week as salary at Spotrac.com, has stated that he is enjoying playing with the 26-year-old.
Calvert-Lewin told Everton’s official website: “It is all experience and for any young player you have to be a sponge and take everything in. You have to have your eyes peeled every day just to see what they are doing.
“If Cenk is in the team you have to look at why he is in the team and what you can do to get in. I talk to him a lot during games.
“If he has been playing he will come and ask me what it looks like from the sidelines, and I will ask him about the two centre-backs he is up against in case I come on the pitch.”
Improve by learning
Calvert-Lewin’s comments show that he has the right attitude in terms of improving and learning.
Tosun is a very experienced forward who has experience of playing in the Champions League, and the 21-year-old England Under-21 international seems to be learning from him.
While the arrival of the Turkey international in the January transfer window has made it harder for Calvert-Lewin to establish himself in the Everton’s first team, he has taken the challenge perfectly and is showing a very positive attitude indeed.
