Tosun rejected Qatar move

Cenk Tosun had his chance to leave Everton, but he decided against it, as he wants to stay at the club and fight for his place in the team. At least that is what Miliyet are reporting. According to this less known source, Turkish international turned down a transfer to Qatari side Al Gharafa in order to remain at Goodison Park and try and become a first team regular.

The 28-year-old is down the pecking order behind Moise Kean and Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the Toffees, but still wants to stay at Goodison Park until at least January, according to the same source. He feels that he can fight for his place in the team, but also it is reported that his wife did not want to move to Qatar.

Interestingly, the manager of Al Gharafa is Slavisa Jokanovic, former Watford and Fulham manager, and he is obviously still looking towards England when deciding which players to sign. Tosun has played just 35 minutes for Everton this season.
