Cenk Tosun completes his return to Besiktas as out-of-favour Everton striker re-joins Istanbul side on loan until the end of the season

Everton centre forward Cenk Tosun has completed his much-anticipated return to Besiktas on loan until the end of the season.

Tosun joined Everton in 2018 from Besiktas for a sizeable £27million, but has failed to make himself a first-team regular under successive managers. He has scored a meagre nine goals in 49 Premier League games for the Toffees.

The Turkey international has played just 164 minutes of football this season, making five substitute appearances in the Premier League and starting only against Championship side Rotherham United in the FA Cup third round, a game in which he scored.
