Cenk Tosun scored twice for Everton against Stoke City in the Premier League this weekend.

Everton attacker Theo Walcott has suggested to the club’s official that he has been impressed with his teammate Cenk Tosun.

Tosun is in great form at the moment and is banging in the goals for fun for Everton.

The Turkey international forward scored both goals in the Toffees’ 2-1 victory over Stoke City away from home at the bet365 Stadium in the Premier League at the weekend.

The 26-year-old has scored four goals in five Premier League starts for Everton since his move from Besiktas in the January transfer window for a fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £27 million.

Walcott, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, also moved to Everton in the January transfer window – from Arsenal – and the 29-year-old England international has raved about Tosun.

“As a striker, it is all about confidence,” Walcott told Everton’s official website about Tosun. “It obviously takes time and Cenk came in January as well.

“I see it in training every day – he is a great finisher. I am very pleased that he got on to my ball for the second goal.

“They were both extremely good finishes and I am really pleased for him. Obviously, everyone who is going on international duty will look after themselves, as we have a busy few weeks ahead.”

Building for next season

Everton are safe from relegation to the Championship at the end of the season, and the Toffees should use the rest of the campaign to build for 2018-19.

If Sam Allardyce’s side play well and get some positives results, then that should set them up nicely for the 2018-19 campaign.
