Newcastle United have been linked with Besiktas forward Cenk Tosun in the summer transfer window.

Besiktas' forward Cenk Tosun celebrates after scoring during the UEFA Champions League football match FC Porto vs Beskitas JK at the Dragao stadium in Porto on September 13, 2017.

According to The Daily Star, Besiktas forward Cenk Tosun is rated at £15 million.

It has been reported that Newcastle United are planning to launch a bid for the 26-year-old in the January transfer window.

Newcastle are reported to have already registered their interest in Besiktas, with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace also claimed to be monitoring the 26-year-old.

The Magpies do not like to splash big, and for them signing a forward of Tosun’s quality for just £15m would be a real coup.

The Turkey international forward is in great form at the momenta and is banging in the goals left, right and centre.

Tosun has scored three goals in six league starts for Besiktas so far this season and has also found the net three times in three Champions League matches, according to WhoScored.

While it remains to be see if the player himself would be willing to leave a club playing in the Champions League to join a team who could be struggling for survival in the Premier League, Newcastle should spare no effort in signing Tosun in the January transfer window.
