Everton legend Duncan Ferguson has tipped January signing Cenk Tosun for big things at the Merseyside based club.

The Turkey international made the move to Everton from Besiktas from £26 million last month.

Tosun has however struggled since making the move to the Premier League. The 26-year-old has failed to find the back of the net and has been dropped to the bench by manager Sam Allardyce.

However, club legend Duncan Ferguson has been impressed with Tosun during the Blues’ mid-season break in Dubai.

“We are made up with him,” Ferguson was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo.

“Cenk has settled in well, he’s looked sharp in training and has been knocking a few goals in.

“Obviously, he has had a bit of time in Dubai to get to know the lads and settle in a bit better but there will be big things for Cenk. We are looking to kick on with him,” 

Tosun was an unused substitute in two of Everton’s last three matches. The star striker’s former club Besiktas take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League this week.

Meanwhile, the Toffees are back in action this weekend when they take on Watford FC at Vicarage Road in the Premier League.
