'It does not bother me' - Benched Everton striker Tosun shrugs off Allardyce snub

The forward's adaptation to life at Goodison Park has been slow so far, but he is unconcerned, adamant that he will be sharper in the coming weeks

Missing out on Everton's 3-1 defeat of Crystal Palace did "not bother" £27 million signing Cenk Tosun because he is focusing on getting fitter.

Tosun joined Everton in January after impressing over the previous year-and-a-half with Besiktas in Turkey.

Scoring goals had been identified as Everton's biggest problem in the first half of the season following the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, with the club then shelling out for Turkey international Tosun, who netted eight in 12 league starts for Besiktas before leaving.
