Everton striker Cenk Tosun is reportedly wanted by Fiorentina and Lazio.
According to Calciomercato, Fiorentina and Lazio are both keen to land Everton striker Cenk Tosun – and they’re prepared to sell for €20million (£17million).
Tosun was a star in Turkey with 64 goals in 142 games for Besiktas, and that convinced Steve Walsh to splash the cash to bring him to Everton in January 2018.
Sky Sports reported that the fee was £27million, with Tosun expected to become Everton’s new leading striker – but it hasn’t quite turned out that way.
The 27-year-old hit just three goals in 25 Premier League games this season, and whilst only 10 of those games were as a starter, that in itself sums up his issues.
With Everton now in the market for another striker, Tosun’s future is unclear, and Calciomercato in Italy report that Fiorentina and Lazio are both keen to sign him.
It’s stated that Everton would want a fee of around €20million (£17million) for Tosun, which would be a massive £10million loss on the striker inside 18 months.
It’s not great business, but that money could go to a signing for Marcel Brands, and if he won’t be playing first-team football under Marco Silva, Everton may be better cashing in now – before his value declines even further.
