Liverpool Star Emre Can Puts Rivalry Aside & Reacts To Everton January Signing

Liverpool star Emre Can has opened up about Everton striker Cenk Tosun.

Can put rivalry between Liverpool and Everton aside to give his verdict on the Toffees January signing.

The 24-year-old told DHA: “I think he will do a great job in England.

“He was amazing in Turkey and will do the same here I am sure of it.”

Tosun joined Everton on a £27 million move from Besiktas over the winter transfer window but has not hit the ground running.

The Turkey international has yet to register a goal or assist but it is worth pointing out he has only started two games.

Tosun became the fourth Germany born ethnic Turk in the Premier League after completing his Everton transfer joining Can, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil and Manchester City ace Ilkay Gundogan.

Can and Tosun actually share a few other things in common as well.

Both players were born in the German state of Hesse and rose through the ranks of the Frankfurt academy. In fact they were teammates for nine years.

Tosun was a late bloomer compared to Can but went onto win back to back league titles at Besiktas while also excelling in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old was involved in seven goals in 12 Champions League games for Besiktas which is a club record – five goals and two assists.
