Had no idea Cenk Tosun was still playing. 

Surprised Yunus Akgun makes it too as he hasn't played that much with us. 

Turkey seems to have missed out on a period of time where they had good players and a decent squad. Some names in there that are Championship-level but in the past they've had some players with higher reputations.

Kaan Ayhan 

Bit weird that he was transformed into a midfielder. He always played center back for us.
