Everton striker Cenk Tosun has promised that he will become the Goodison Park side’s new Romelu Lukaku.
He said “Lukaku did really well here but I am hoping to score as many goals as I can and do well,” he said. “Of course I think I can do it.
“It doesn’t put a lot of pressure on me. It is a great honour. I would like to become a great role model for all the other players in Turkey. I regard this league as the best in the world. It is fast and strong here and the ball is always moving. My character as a player is suitable to this kind of football.”
“Gabriel Batistuta was one of my idols. I loved his playing style,” he admitted. “He was a great header of the ball. There is a saying he could shoot with his head. I think there are similarities between my style and his.”
“I could have stayed until the end of the year and got those games under my belt but the manager here wanted me really badly so that played a big role. It’s good I came now,” he said.
“Everyone needs a new mission and target in life and mine was to play in the Premier League. The main aim is to take the team to a better place and score as many goals as I can. This year it is to get into the top half of the table. Seventh or eighth would be good for us this season.”
