“He looks like a real finisher. Settling in at any club is difficult but there are promising signs there. Whoever comes in as manager just needs to decide, now, whether he is more effective on his own, or with someone up alongside him.

“If you are a striker you are judged almost entirely on your goals – and his goal-return so far has been good.

“It is also important that he seems comfortable living in England. It can be very difficult initially when you are taking on board a new language and getting used to completely different surroundings.”

“Everyone sees the footballer but not all the stuff that goes into making the individual happy. If the individual is happy, then you get to see the real footballer.

“All the indications are that he is settling in quickly and there is more to come from him when he is completely adapted to the country and the Premier League.”

Tosun did not exactly receive the best service under the stewardship of Sam Allardyce.

In fact the striker scored five goals in his last eight shots on target.

The Turkey international will have a new manager next season as Marco Silva has take charge of the club.

Tosun is currently on international duty and is set to start against Tunisia, in Switzerland tonight.
