Campbell convinced Tosun will be big hit for Everton fans

Former Everton striker Kevin Campbell is backing Cenk Tosun to be a big hit at Goodison Park.

Tosun signed for Everton last week from Besiktas.

Campbell, who played for Trabzonspor during his career, told evertonfc.com: “It is a great piece of business for Everton to bring in somebody of international quality.

“Tosun is a good player, a strong player. He is blessed with good technique and knows where the goal is.

“The quicker we can get him settled in the better. He might need a couple of games to adapt but he is a top-quality striker.

“The Turkish league is not easy – it is a really tough league. It is not the Premier League but, believe me, it is a demanding place to play your football.

“You will see glimpses of what he can produce very quickly. Then, as long as he can bed himself in to the club and the team, we will see the best of him before too long.

“The club Tosun has come from, Besiktas, is an enormous club. The Turkish supporters are exceptional but there is a lot of pressure on the players there.

“He will be able to handle the expectations and demands on him here. I am not at all worried about that.

“I would love for him to do the business and for the Evertonians to take to him.

“That would be two strikers signed from Turkey they have taken to!"
