Tosun last week completed a £28.5million move to Everton from Besiktas and he made his debut against Tottenham on Sunday.

And he appears he will definitely be joined by Theo Walcott - if Tosun’s comments today are anything to go by.

Everton haven’t announced the forward’s arrival but Turkish striker Tosun has done just that.

He said: “Theo is a great player, proven player. He's done really well for Arsenal.

"He's really fast, he's a great crosser. I would say it's a massive signing for us."

Walcott, 28, was at Everton's Finch Farm training ground on Tuesday ahead of a £20m move.

Walcott is surplus to requirements at Arsenal having made just 16 appearances in all competitions this season, including the Community Shield.

Only six of those appearances have been in the Premier League, and he last started a game in the division in April.

Walcott has scored 108 goals in 397 matches for Arsenal in total since joining them from Southampton in 2006.

Tosun made his Everton debut at the weekend, playing an hour of the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham at Wembley.

Speaking last Friday, Everton boss Sam Allardyce said: "Theo's not as risky (as Tosun) because he's proven. He's scored 100 goals for Arsenal from wide positions as well as many assists.

"His pace is one of his key strengths which we lack in this squad. His assists are pretty good as well as his goals.

"We are short of goals so to add power in our goalscoring ability would be very important for me."
