Everton manager Sam Allardyce has made it clear that he wants to recruit a new striker before the January transfer window closes.
At the moment, Besiktas forward Cenk Tosun is high up on the list, but the negotiations are not running smoothly.
According to The Times, the Turkish club have upped the price tag to £27m, which is £2m more than the Merseyside outfit were hoping to pay.
Despite the current stumbling block, the Daily Mail report that Tosun’s camp are confident that the deal will go through.
Everton have struggled in the attacking department throughout the season having found the back of the net 25 times in 22 Premier League games.
Romelu Lukaku, who left the Toffees to join Manchester United in the summer, scored 25 goals on his own last season, and without the striker, the blue half of Merseyside have suffered.
It is certainly the area that Everton fans feel that the club need to strengthen.
After hearing the latest news surrounding Tosun, supporters posted their views on Twitter.
