CSKA Moscow linked with a move for Everton striker Cenk Tosun

The attacking department of the CSKA Moscow squad needs quality additions this winter.

According to the football transfer rumours in British media, CSKA Moscow are linked with a loan move for Everton striker Cenk Tosun.

The 29-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

Everton spent 22.5 million euros to sign the Turkey international from Beşiktaş in the winter of 2018. The 29-year-old has two years left on his current contract which expires in 2022.

The striker has banged in one goal in 7 matches for Everton this term on all fronts.

The 29-year-old is considered to be one of the best strikers in Turkey.

Cenk Tosun has also left his mark at the international stage after netting 18 goals in 45 senior appearances for the Turkey national team.

The 29-year-old is one of the more likely players to be offloaded by Everton this winter and the list of suitors in the Turkey international continues to grow.

Viktor Goncharenko wants to sign a new striker and Tosun is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a firm fan of Everton striker and CSKA could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.

The Russian giants are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

Cenk Tosun is a traditional number nine, having all types of finishes in his locker. He has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

According to the report,”CSKA Moscow are eyeing Everton striker Cenk Tosun. The Russian giants are in need for a new centre-forward signing after agreeing to send Adolfo Gaich to Serie A minnows Benevento on-loan. Sport-Express says CSKA are actively in the market for a replacement. Free agent Ahmed Musa has been mentioned, though his agent says a move to West Brom is more likely. As such, CSKA are turning to Tosun, who could be brought to Russia on-loan.”
