Profiling Can Uzun
Thanks to OptaFranz, we know Can Uzun is the first teenager in Bundesliga history to score in each of the first four matches of a Bundesliga season.
Throw in the goal he scored against Galatasaray on his UEFA Champions League debut and that makes it a five-game scoring streak for Eintracht Frankfurt. He even provided an assist in the DFB-Pokal against Engers, his first competitive game of the season.
So, it’s pretty obvious this teenage Turk is special. It won’t surprise you to learn he will feature in the upcoming SCOUTED50 list. But I wanted to answer the following question: what type of player is Can Uzun?
More specifically, I wanted to look at how he compared to his fellow 2005-born compatriots Kenan Yıldız and Arda Güler, as well as the breakout number ten that featured in last year’s SCOUTED50, Nico Paz.
