Cenk Tosun joined Everton in January from Besiktas.

Not all players leave their club on good terms, few continue to be a hero once they have left.

The 27-year-old did not miss the chance to send a birthday message to Caner Erkin who turned 30 today, referring to the full-back as ‘my lightning’ – lightning being his nickname.
