Report: Sam Allardyce keen to sign Everton striker Cenk Tosun in January

West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce is keen to be reunited with Everton striker Cenk Tosun in the January transfer window, according to reports from Sky Sports.

Allardyce signed Tosun from Besiktas for £27m when he was Everton boss in January 2018, and wants him at West Brom as he looks to keep Baggies in the Premier League.

Tosun is out of favour under Carlo Ancelotti who prefers Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a lone striker. Allardyce wants Tosun to join him at The Hawthorns to bolster his strike force.

The report claims that Allardyce is looking to sign the 29-year-old on loan, with an option to make the move permanent if they avoid relegation.
