Cenk Tosun will be staying at Everton for the foreseeable future, stating he wishes to stay at Goodison Park after Eintracht Frankfurt failed to make an offer, according to online outlet Turkish-Football.
What’s the word, then?
There has been much speculation about the future of the striker since the arrival of Moise Kean this summer, with rumoured destinations such as Eintracht Frankfurt and Besiktas reportedly on the cards.
However, there hasn’t been a firm offer from Frankfurt and with time running out in the transfer window it looks unlikely at this stage that a deal will be completed.
As a result, despite failing to make an appearance in Everton’s opening three games he could be drafted back into the first-team squad, particularly as Everton have scored just one goal in those matches.
Furthermore, he still has three years remaining on his current deal, so he may have to knuckle down and do his best to impress for his current club, as there is no guarantee of an exit on the horizon.
As the most experienced striker in Everton’s ranks he will offer Marco Silva a different option, and could still have a role to play this season despite the rumours that his departure was likely.

Why this could be great news for Everton
As highlighted, Everton have been underwhelming in front of goal this season, and much of that has been due to the playing style and lack of experience of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, whilst Moise Kean is still adjusting from his move from Serie A.
Tosun offers variety to those two. When starting he would provide a focal point for his teammates and would be able to hold the ball up and bring Everton’s creative midfielders into play, with players such as Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson struggling to make an impact so far this season – with no goals and no assists between them.
As well as that, Tosun would be an ideal impact sub for Marco Silva to look to. What he lacks in pace compared to Calvert-Lewin and Kean he makes up for in strength and his intelligence, often picking out teammates with headers and knock-downs, which could prove valuable when Everton are behind and chasing games.
