Crystal Palace sign Everton striker on loan

 

Crystal Palace have announced the arrival of Everton striker Cenk Tosun on a six-month loan deal.

 

The Eagles have handed Tosun a route out of Everton after being deemed surplus to requirements by Carlo Ancelotti.

 

Tosun has failed to live up to his price tag since joining Everton from Besiktas for £27m two years ago.

 

Palace wanted to sign Tosun in January 2018 before Everton won the race but Roy Hodgson has finally got his man.

 

Tosun's arrival raises further question marks about Christian Benteke's future at Selhurst Park with a loan move back to Aston Villa touted.

Tosun has only made five Premier League appearances this season but did manage to score in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham in November.

 

The 28-year-old has a dismal record of four goals from 48 shots in 30 Premier League appearances for Everton.
