da jogodeouro: Everton have named their price for reported Crystal Palace target Cenk Tosun, with The Daily Star claiming the Toffees are open to cashing in.
What’s the word?
Tosun only moved to Merseyside a year ago when Everton landed the Turkish forward from Besiktas.
The 27-year-old, however, has struggled in England and has found himself ushered down the pecking order under Marco Silva.
Even scoring with his only effort on target in Saturday’s shock FA Cup defeat to Millwall does not seem to have done enough to warrant a further stay at Goodison Park, with The Daily Star suggesting that Everton will sell the striker this month if they receive the right offer.
Crystal Palace have already enquired about taking Tosun on loan for the remainder of the season, and Huddersfield have also raised the question, but Everton are said to only be considering selling the 35-cap international and will demand £20million.
Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin may be out for the season but it’s given him a chance to show off his new accessory. Check out the video below to see for yourself…
Should Everton sell?
If Crystal Palace or Huddersfield are open to buying Tosun, Everton have to take the financial hit and sell.
He does not offer Silva enough to hold down the striker spot at Goodison Park and has shown he cannot find the target regularly enough to be the Toffees’ main forward, either.
Everton will lose millions of pounds by cashing in now, but it would be better to take the £20million if the club’s valuation is met rather than losing even more by not selling and letting Tosun’s value further depreciate.
The only question that should be debated on Merseyside is whether there’s enough time left in the January window to bring in a new option up top.
The Sun reported earlier this month that Everton are interested in Chelsea’s out-of-favour striker Michy Batshuayi, and the money raised from Tosun’s exit would help towards the potential £40million deal.
