Everton striker Cenk Tosun is considering a return to Crystal Palace during the January transfer window, as reported by Fotomac.

The Turkey international certainly has unfinished business at Selhurst Park.

After joining Roy Hodgson’s side on loan 12 months ago, Tosun scored a brilliant header away to Manchester City on only his second appearance before a cruciate ligament injury brought an untimely end to his spell in red and blue.

With Tosun still out of favour at Everton, Fotomac believes that the £27 million forgotten man will be handed a second chance to make a name for himself at Crystal Palace.

It remains to be seen whether Palace will look to strike another short-term loan deal or whether they are willing to sign the German-born 29-year-old on a permanent transfer.

Fotomac adds that Tosun, who would prefer to stay in the Premier League rather than return to his native Turkey, is keen on the idea of linking up with Hodgson again.

“Technically, (he’s) very good,” the former England boss told the BBC of Tosun after that topsy-turvy clash with Pep Guardiola’s City back in January 2019.
