Everton striker Cenk Tosun says he'll always be grateful to Sam Allardyce.

Allardyce signed Tosun from Besiktas before he eventually left Everton.

Tosun told the Daily Mail: "Sam brought me here and I want to thank him for that.

"He wanted me here very, very much.

"Our relationship was good but, of course, the club decided to work with another manager."
