Everton star Cenk Tosun has not exactly hit the ground running at his new club – to be fair the Toffees have not been great in general.

Tosun was however, able to provide some motivation for his former team Besiktas who he left a few weeks ago.

The 26-year-old called Oguzhan Ozyakup who put him on loud-speaker to his former teammates.

The Turkey international reportedly said ‘my heart is with you’.

The motivational message appeared to do its trick as Besiktas ended up coming from behind to beat Antalyaspor 2-1 away from home.

Anderson Talisca scored a brace to keep the reigning Super Lig champions within six-points of league leaders Basaksehir.
