The 19-year-old is part of a new generation of Turkish talent, with the possibility of an attacking trio of Uzun, Arda Güler and Kenan Yıldız becoming a tantalising prospect for the nation. While the latter duo are reasonably well-known, Uzun has only recently started to attract the eye of various suitors.
