Norwich interested in signing Turkish international striker

Norwich City are interested in Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun and they, along with West Ham, will send scouts to watch him in action in the Istanbul derby against Galatasaray on Monday, according to reports in Turkey.

Both clubs have held an interest in the 25-year-old for some time now but neither have made an official offer for him but they will continue to scout him.

The Turkish international started the season as Besiktas’s second choice striker but has forced himself into a regular starting role with his goalscoring prowess. He’s the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig and he has 19 goals in all competitions this season, including this strike against Benfica in the Champions League:

It’s fair to assume that the player wouldn’t leave a Champions League club to join Norwich if the Canaries are in the Championship again next year so signing him would probably depend on Alex Neil’s side winning promotion via the playoffs.
