Hakan Çalhanoğlu (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈhaːkan ˈt͡ʃaɫhanoːɫu], born 8 February 1994) is a Turkish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for German Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen and the Turkish national team.

He began his career at Karlsruher SC in 2010 and moved to top-flight Hamburger SV two years later, spending another season back at his first club on loan. His performance in his first Bundesliga season earned him a €14.5 million transfer to Leverkusen in 2014.

Although born in Germany, Çalhanoğlu opted to represent his ancestral Turkey at international level, making his senior debut in 2013.

Club career

Karlsruher SC

Born in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Çalhanoğlu began his career with Karlsruher SC in the 2. Bundesliga, although they were relegated to the 3. Liga at the end of his first season. He signed a four-year deal to join Hamburger SV in the 2012 summer transfer window, being loaned back for his first season.[1] In that season on loan, he helped the team win the league and return to the second tier.

Hamburger SV

Çalhanoğlu made his Hamburg and Bundesliga debut on 11 August 2013, as the team opened the season with a 3–3 away draw at Schalke 04. He started the match, and was replaced by Dennis Aogo after 74 minutes.[2] He scored his first goals for the club on the 31st, in a 4–0 home win over Eintracht Braunschweig; after replacing goalscorer Rafael van der Vaart in the 79th minute, he scored a minute later and then netted again with a free kick.[3]

On 5 February 2014, Çalhanoğlu signed a two-year extension to his Hamburg contract, to keep him at the club until 2018.[4] He was sent off for the first time in his career on 22 March, for his second booking in the 53rd minute of a 0–1 defeat away to VfB Stuttgart.[5]

In his only full season at Hamburg, Çalhanoğlu played in 32 of their 34 Bundesliga games and scored 11 league goals. The team however finished in 16th, and won a play-off against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on away goals to maintain their honour as the only team to feature in every season of the top flight.[6]

Bayer Leverkusen

On 4 July 2014, he left Hamburg for league rivals Bayer Leverkusen, signing a five-year contract[7] for a transfer fee of €14.5 million.[8]

He made his debut for the club on 19 June, starting in a 3–2 away win at FC Copenhagen in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League qualification playoff.[9] Four days later he played his first league game for his new club, a 2–0 win away to Borussia Dortmund on the opening day of the new season.[10] On 27 August he scored his first Leverkusen goal, netting his team's second in a 4–0 win in the second leg of their European playoff.[11] He scored his first league goal for the club on 12 September, Leverkusen's second in a 3–3 home draw against Werder Bremen. It was the first game in any competition that season which they did not win.[12] Çalhanoğlu was nominated for the 2014 Golden Boy Award in October.[13]

On 25 February 2015, he scored the only goal as Leverkusen defeated Atlético Madrid in the last 16 first leg in the Champions League.[14] However, three weeks later in the second leg, he took their first attempt in a penalty shootout and had it saved by Jan Oblak, as Atlético went on to win.[15] On 2 May, Çalhanoğlu opened a 2–0 home win over newly crowned league champions Bayern Munich, with a free kick.[16]

International career

Although born in Germany, Çalhanoğlu opted to play for Turkey, qualifying for them through his family's origins in Bayburt.[1] He played for the country at youth international level, including the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup on home soil.[1] Turkey reached the last 16 before elimination by France. In their second group game on 28 June, Çalhanoğlu scored Turkey's equaliser in a 2–1 win over Australia at the Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium in his ancestral city.[17]

He made his senior debut on 6 September 2013 in a World Cup qualifier in Kayseri, replacing Gökhan Töre for the last eight minutes of a 5–0 win against Andorra in Fatih Terim's first match back in charge.[18] He made his first start on 25 May 2014 in a 2–1 friendly win against the Republic of Ireland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, making way for Olcan Adın after 61 minutes.[19] On 31 March 2015 he scored his first international goal in a 2–1 friendly win away to Luxembourg, a 30-yard strike with three minutes remaining.[20] He scored two more in a 4–0 home friendly win over Bulgaria on 8 June, the latter being a free kick.[21]

Style of play

Çalhanoğlu has been likened to Mesut Özil, another German-born midfielder of Turkish ancestry.[22][23][24][25][26] He is known for scoring from free kicks,[27] and models his set-piece technique on those of Cristiano Ronaldo and especially Juninho Pernambucano.[24] In December 2013, Talksport called him "a playmaker destined for the top", praising his dedication and passing ability.[24]
