Yunus Akgün

Yunus Akgün

Yunus Akgün attacks space from the right, drifting inside to threaten the channel and pin centre-backs with quick, one-two combos. Yunus Akgün rose through Galatasaray's system, made his professional debut in 2018, and on loan at Adana Demirspor scored 8 goals and 9 assists. He thrives in crowded spaces. His English stint with Leicester City yielded the 2023–24 EFL Championship title before returning to Galatasaray with a long-term extension in 2025. Internationally, Yunus Akgün debuted for Türkiye in 2022 and scored his first goal shortly after. Back at Galatasaray, he uses close control to drive attacks from the right or through the middle, linking play with one-touch layoffs. He presses high and makes runs beyond the line to finish moves. The on-pitch punchline is that he gets shots off quickly after creating space.
