Everton meets Blade Runner in Twitter clip announcing Cenk Tosun signing

Matthew Gault

That’s how it’s done these days.

Everton have confirmed the capture of striker Cenk Tosun from Besiktas – and used social media to announce his arrival.

Tosun arrives for over €30million and has put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Toffees. Below is the video unveiling their new signing.

Yes, the music sounds very Blade Runner-y. It’s an intriguing fit for confirming a football signing, but we kind of dig it.

Speaking to Everton’s official website about the move, Tosun spoke of his excitement:

“It feels great to be an Everton player. I’m really happy to be here and happy that everything is done. I’m really excited to play for Everton as soon as possible. Everton is a great club with a big history and a big culture and I’m looking forward to showing the fans the kind of player I am.

“I bring my skills here and everybody is going to see what kind of player I am. I believe I can be a good player in the Premier League for Everton.

“The Premier League is a strong league, I know that, so my own physical strength will help me. Also I can use both feet the same and I believe I am a good striker in the box.

“I’m really looking forward to training with my teammates and getting to know them and, of course, I want to play as soon as possible. The Tottenham game will be the first game I am available for and I’m very excited about it already.

In the spirit of Twitter videos, Besiktas posted their own one wishing Tosun all the best in the new chapter of his career while thanking him for his service.
