“Manchester City has made an offer. It is highly probable that he will sign for Manchester City. It is safe to say he is gone,” said Recep Bölükbaşı, confirming the transfer.

Born in 1997 in Bursa province, the 1.85 meter Enes Ünal is viewed as the most prized future asset of Turkish football and comes with mind-blowing goal scoring stats at the youth level.

A tall forward capable of dribbling and technique gifted, the Ibrahimovic-esque Ünal is also a skilled free kick taker. He ranked in 25 goals in 24 games for the Turkey under 16-side, and continued his prolific record to the under 19 even breaking into the senior Turkish national team in 2015.

Ünal has played at the senior side for Bursaspor for 29 games and scored four goals.
 
Close the window now for me....

Forgive me for not getting too excited as we've seen a few 'wonder kids' in recent years.

Good luck to the lad though.
 
And why is that?

If we look back at the unknowns signed from previous seasons that's exactly what happened.
We'll see as the year rolls on but I'll see you back here and hope I'm wrong - I won't be but obviously I hope he takes the prem by storm.

You were tracking Lopes, Deneyar, and Iheanacho for a couple years before they signed?

This impression is called "learned helplessness" in psychology. And one should try to overcome that belief because every situation is different by nature.
