EVERTON have agreed to sign £27million striker Cenk Tosun and are in a race to get him registered in time to play against rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup on Friday.
Sam Allardyce said: "We've agreed a deal and are at the stage of personal terms. Hopefully, we might be able to get him registered in time to play in the cup.
"If official documents arrive, Cenk Tosun may be in the squad in the Liverpool game."
Tosun has helped Besiktas reach the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will meet Bayern Munich, but will not be able to help them in the knock-our stage.
Everton manager Allardyce identified the German-born Turkey international as the forward to add goals and threat to his squad following the failure to replace Romelu Lukaku after his £90m move to Manchester United.
Besiktas president Fikret Orman flew to England to thrash out the details and it appears to have been wrapped up swiftly.
