Sam happy with his big money signing

EVERTON boss Sam Allardyce felt Cenk Tosun showed why the club had signed him with his goal in Saturday’s 2-0 home victory over Brighton.

Having collected the ball from Leighton Baines just inside the box in the 76th minute, Tosun cracked a shot in off the bar to double the Toffees’ lead.

That was a week after the Turkey striker, signed in January from Besiktas for £27m, opened his account at Burnley.

The hosts had gone in front through a 60th-minute owngoal by Gaetan Bong, who diverted the ball in while under pressure from Theo Walcott.

Allardyce said: “The second goal was why we brought Cenk into the club. The contribution Cenk is making now, as well as Theo, is making us better.”
