Cenk Tosun aiming to learn from Wayne Rooney after Everton switch

Turkey international Cenk Tosun is looking to learn from the likes of Wayne Rooney after pursuing his switch to Everton from Besiktas. The Toffees had reached a stumbling block over the asking price for the 27-year-old earlier in the week, but the departure of Ross Barkley allowed them additional funds to finalise the move.

Speaking after his £27m move, Tosun was pleased to have made the switch to Goodison Park, and he is aiming to test himself in the English top-flight. The Turk also spoke about his excitement of learning from the senior players including Wayne Rooney, who has had a strong start on his Toffees comeback.
