Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in Cenk Tosun.
Beskitas striker Cenk Tosun will be in high demand in a few months’ time, as the race for signing him is gradually hotting up.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace will make a second check on the Besiktas striker when he plays in the Champions League this week.
The Eagles have reportedly watched Tosun in action against Finland in a World Cup qualifier last week. The club are looking to follow up their interest when the 26-year-old faces Monaco on Tuesday.
With both Christian Benteke and Conor Wickham injured, Roy Hodgson is desperate to sign a striker in January. Tosun is in the final year of his contract in Istanbul and Besiktas could be willing to sell him if the price is right.
Palace are not the only Premier League club to have shown interest in Tosun. Newcastle United are also seemingly keen to sign him.
According to reports from Fotomac, the Magpies have emerged as front runners for Tosun’s signature.
Tosun, who scored 41 times in the last two seasons, could cost around £17 million. He would be a superb signing for the Eagles.
