TOSUN VOW TO BECOME BOX OFFICE
CENK TOSUN claims he can be Everton’s fox in the box.
The Turkey forward (above), who is set to make his debut against Tottenham tomorrow, said: “I am a very good and dangerous striker when I am in the penalty box.
“It’s a great plus that I can use both feet. If I get a chance in the penalty box, I usually score. I can also say that I am very strong, which is important in England.
“But there are still things that I can work at and improve.”
Everton have struggled in the Premier League because they have only netted 25 times this term.
The £27million signing from Besiktas, who bagged 14 goals in the first half of the season, is set to take on that responsibility.
“I think I’m ready,” he said. “We have a very good team. And, in the second half of the season, I’m hoping to score a lot more goals.”
Tosun, 26, added: “I scored a lot of goals last year. It was the best season of my career. This year, in the Champions League, I scored four, with two assists in six games.
“The English Premier League is a very good league and you need to think as if every week you are playing in the Champions League.
“I promise that I will run until I drop and work hard for this club.”
