Everton have been linked with Cenk Tosun of Besiktas in the January transfer window.

Cenk Tosun of Turkey heads the ball during a training session ahead of their UEFA Euro 2016 Group D match against Spain at Allianz Riviera Stadium on June 16, 2016 in Nice, France.

Everton’s deal to sign Cenk Tosun from Besiktas in the January transfer window is in danger of not going through, according to The Mirror.

It has been reported that Everton believed that they had agreed a £25 million deal to sign Tosun, only for Besiktas to raise their asking price.

The report has claimed that this has led to a stand-off over the transfer fee, despite the 26-year-old forward flying to London to complete the deal to join the Toffees.

The Mirror has claimed that Turkish giants Besiktas now want over £27m as transfer fee for the Turkey international forward.
