Allardyce said: “It’s in the wind. There’s an interest obviously because we’re actively looking for a front man.
“But whether we are the ones to complete that deal or not, we will see. The interest from other clubs around Europe is our biggest worry if we are to secure that transfer.”
Tosun has confirmed in the past that were he to leave Turkey he would want it to be for the Premier League.
The 26-year-old has already played in Germany and has established himself as a star name at Besiktas winning the back to back league titles.
Tosun also excelled in the Champions League campaign and was directly involved in six of the Black Eagles 11 goals.
The Istanbul giants made history becoming the first Turkish side to book a place in the Last 16 as group leaders.
