Daniel Amokachi knows all about Everton and Besiktas having played for both clubs back in the day.
Amokachi left Everton for Besiktas in 1996 and his twins Kalim and Nazim are currently in the club youth academy system.
The former Besiktas man opened up about Cenk Tosun who left the Black Eagles for Everton in January.
The ex Nigeria international striker believes Tosun will have to get used to cultural differences as well as the physical demands but that he was impressed with his performances in Dubai.
“It’s a different way of life when it comes to football,” said Amokachi. “For a player who is not used to the pace and the demands of the Premier League, it is tough.
“But he is a goalscorer, definitely. I saw a couple of clips of the team in Dubai and he is working hard. I am sure that will help him and the whole team.”
