Sir McGiven

Hey there, another Besiktas fan from Turkey.
I have an Irish colleague who is a big time Everton fan, whenever we meet he likes to talk about Premier League and Everton. Because of him i am following Everton for a while now as i enjoy those moments where we discuss PL.
I told him and i can tell same here;
1) Of course it is a gamble. We signed him for free 3 years ago. He was a promising striker back then, he couldn't make it into first 11 until last year and still goes on this year. There is no guarantee that he can adapt himself into PL style of football but it is valid nearly for all foreigners outside of UK. I can say, i am pretty sure he can success if he manage to adapt. Additionally in the beginning of his career, he trained in Germany. (Ein. Frankfurt 2007 - 2011)
I think his disciplined culture is from Germany as it is hard to find a disciplined national player in Turkey. (By saying disciplined who pays attention in trainings, takes care of himself after the trainings, before and after match day etc.)
2) The reason he couldn't make it that he was behind Demba Ba, Mario Gomez and Aboubakar. Usually they were the main strikers but as he indicated in his interviews, he never stopped, he took advantages of learning from those experienced strikes and a young gun like Abou. Besides the season, he kept working with his private coach during the whole summer time.
3) He has started to shine last year where he scored his magnificent goal against Benfica. (Voted as the best goal of the group stage last year) As you can see, he is now rumoured for some PL teams. It is a good indicator for us to see how he developed at Besiktas because i don't even remember who was the last footballer signed by a PL team from Turkey. (I think it was Alpay from Fenerbahce to Aston Villa in 2000 for 9m euros)
4) He has a good first touch, in my opinion it can be very crucial to success for the strikers/attacking midfielders in PL. He is a solid finisher. He can play as AML, as well as a striker.
5) He is ambitious but this ambition is not leading him into trouble. I mean, maybe sometimes but it is rare.
6) He is a great personality on and off the pitch.
tl;dr
If he can manage to adapt in to PL style of football, he can make an impact for Everton. He is a good signing for the rumoured price.
 
As soon as the transfer announced, i can only hope the best for him as we enjoyed his time in Besiktas and hope glories for the Toffees and less heart attacks for my colleague Brian. Take a good care of him. Oh and sorry for the typos and grammer.
