My Take

What stops me about Enes Ünal is how early the spotlight found him. Scoring on his Süper Lig debut for Bursaspor in August 2013, against Galatasaray no less, made him the youngest player ever to net in Turkey's top flight. That kind of teenage milestone can become a weight, but he kept climbing through youth caps to a senior Turkey debut in 2015 and a Premier League home at Bournemouth. At 185 cm he's the classic targetman forward, and I find his journey from Osmangazi to the English top division a reminder that precocity only matters if you keep building on it.

Overview
