13 Goal Crystal Palace & Chelsea Target Will Not Leave In January Says Turkish Club President

Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun has been closely linked with a January exit after excelling in the Champions League this season.

Black Eagles president Fikret Orman has however, underlined that Tosun will not be leaving – unless an extraordinary offer is made.

Orman made it clear he wants to keep the 26-year-old at the club until at least the end of the season.

“We have made it clear several times we want Cenk Tosun to stay in January,” Orman said.

“I cannot see him leaving but we will see what the future holds. 

“We will see what happens in the next few days but it would have to be a great offer.

“It is natural for him to receive offers but as things stand he is staying.”

Tosun has attracted widespread interest from Premier League sides.

Crystal Palace made a £17.65 million bid for Tosun according to the Sun.

Per the source, Palace have made the first official move to prize the 26-year-old away from the Istanbul giants.

The Eagles could however, face competition from Chelsea who have been scouting the forward according to Besiktas club secretary Ahmet Urkmezgil.

“We have no plans to sell Cenk Tosun, will this be the case in the future? that we don’t know, it may chance,” Cebi said.

“Our current stance is clear, we want Cenk to stay on.”

Tosun has 13 goals and three assists in all competitions for reigning Super Lig champions this season.

The star striker has been in impressive form in the Champions League netting four goals and two assists in all competitions.

Besiktas have won the league title for the past two seasons with the Turkish international playing a major role.
