“I thought Cenk did well for his first game,” Gunes said.

“Everton didn’t help matters playing so defensive and leaving him so isolated but it is understandable considering how strong Tottenham are at home.

“I think he will do well in the Premier League, he showed he has the quality, he actually looked a lot better than most players on the field.”

Gunes is credited with developing Tosun into the player he is today, under his stewardship the striker won back to back league titles managing to establish himself as a first choice striker ahead of the likes of Mario Gomez and Vincent Aboubakar.

The Toffees take on West Brom next at Goodison Park on Saturday, Tosun is expected to start.
