“We are optimistic. It’s a big second half to the season for us. With the players coming back and Cenk Tosun, who is a very, very good striker.

“I saw him first in Monaco because I live there and I watched him when Monaco played Besiktas. He single-handedly destroyed them, although it could be a flash!

“No, he looked very good. I followed him and the coaching staff liked him. There are not a lot of strikers around, so hopefully we’ve hit it right.”

The 26-year-old scored four times and provided two assists in the Champions League this season.

Besiktas became the first Turkish side to book a place in the Champions League Last 16 as group leaders.

Tosun is expected to make his debut against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday.
