Emre Mor

Emre Mor (born 24 July 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Turkish club Galatasaray S.K., on loan from Celta Vigo, and the Turkey national team. Emre Mor was born and raised in the Copenhagen-quarter of Brønshøj, Denmark, to a Turkish father and a Turkish-Macedonian mother. He is a supporter of Galatasaray S.K.. Mor speaks Danish and English, but not Turkish. At the age of 16 in December 2013, Mor was on a trial training with Saint-Étienne but did not receive a contract. Mor played at Lyngby on U17 and U19 levels before he was released by the club in January 2015. The message from the club was that "the conclusion is that the talent can not be redeemed in Lyngby Boldklub". In 2016, it was reported that he was released due to attitude problems. On 31 January 2015, it was confirmed, that Mor had signed a contract with FC Nordsjælland, despite being courted by other clubs in the Superliga and abroad. The original intent was for Mor to play for the U19. Mor got his official debut for FCN on 28 November 2015. Mor started on the bench, but replaced Guðmundur Þórarinsson in the 84th minute in a 0-1 defeat against Randers FC in the Danish Superliga. In the next league match after his debut, Mor was in the starting lineup against Brondby IF. Mor's performance earned him a new contract and a promotion to the first team squad from January 2016. During late 2015, Mor was linked with Borussia Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund confirmed the signing on 7 June 2016, announcing a five-year contract for Mor. In a training session after a defeat against Bayern München in October 2017, Mor and his teammates were sent on a run by manager Thomas Tuchel and physical trainer Rainer Schrey. When Tuchel and Schrey instructed Mor to continue on for an extra round, Mor reportedly loudly protested, which prompted a fiery reaction from Tuchel. Earlier on the year, it was also reported that Dortmund were dissatisfied with Mor's attitude and willingness to integrate into the team. He made only 12 appearances in the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League for Borussia Dortmund during the 2016-17 season, usually as a substitute on the right wing or in attacking midfield. On 31 July 2019, Galatasaray S.K. announced via social media that Mor had joined the club on a season-long loan.
