Tosun is not the number 1 choice at Everton

Cenk Tosun's blistering goal-scoring run in the Turkish Super Lig attracted major interest from a host of bigger clubs in Europe, including Everton, who snapped him up for a whopping £27 million on 5 January.

Right from his very first outing for the Toffees, the Turkish international's poor work rate, inconsistent finishing and average running ability of the ball came under serious scrutiny from the critics and pundits. Owing to his finishing prowess, Tosun received starts right from the word go.

However, the player tipped to rescue a struggling Everton side just couldn't find the back of the net. With a pass success rate of just over 70, five scratchy goals in 991 minutes and an average of just one shot on goal per game, Tosun ended the 2017-18 season on a negative note.

His lack of goals led to the big money move of Richarlison, who has not only grabbed his opportunity with both hands but might just have ended Tosun's stint at Goodison Park.
