Crystal Palace explain Cenk Tosun loan option from Everton and hint at summer deal

Steve Parish claims Crystal Palace have an option to purchase Cenk Tosun at the end of his loan spell from Everton.

The Turkish striker joined Palace until the end of the season in January and has scored one goal in three appearances.

“Roy [Hodgson] felt we needed more firepower, so we took Cenk [Tosun] and we have got an option to buy him," Palace chairman Parish said.

“Obviously if we had bought him for £20m or whatever, maybe that would have been a better PR story.

“But he is an excellent player, he is in the building and I think he will be a big help going into the next six months and I see no reason why we couldn’t make that a permanent deal in the summer, if things go well for both parties.”
