Al Gharafa to bid for Everton striker Cenk Tosun

Al Gharafa are planning a substantial offer to sign Everton striker Cenk Tosun.

Sky Sports says the transfer window in Qatar does not close until September 30 and Al Gharafa are targeting the 28-year-old, who has fallen down the pecking order at Goodison Park following the summer signing of Moise Kean.

Tosun has not played in the Premier League at all yet this season and did not make the Toffees' 18-man squad for Sunday's Premier League defeat at Bournemouth.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin started and scored Everton's goal in the 3-1 defeat, before Keane arrived as a 71st-minute substitute.

Tosun, meanwhile, has featured only in the EFL Cup win at Lincoln this term, having reportedly turned down moves back to Turkey in the summer in favour of fighting for a place under Marco Silva.
