Casual in Istanbul

Signed from Inter Milan on a five-year contract and rated as one of the greatest Turkey players of all-time. Emre has plenty of Serie A and European experience from a four-year stint in Italy after moving from hometown side Galatasaray. A natural left-footer, good on the ball and an excellent passer with a desire to get forward given the opportunity, Emre complements what is already a talented Magpies midfield.

We've always wanted to make a post about our favorite Turkish football player Emre Belozoglu but it's really hard to find nice visuals of Turkish players on internet! What we have right now is like an easter egg for us because highly talented photographer Bennu Gerede made a photoshoot with him for 4-4-2 Magazine . We love Bennu's work as much as we like Emre. Emre is the most talented player from Turkey with the cutest face , a kiddie smile and a hot body. Belozoglu was developed by Turkish club Galatasaray, and made his first appearance for the club's senior squad as a 16-year-old in the 1996-97 season. The following year, he became a regular, and continued with the club through the 2000-01 season, picking up a UEFA Cup winners' medal in 2000. At the beginning of a 2000-01 season, he also picked up a UEFA Super Cup winners' medal after Galatasaray beat Champions League winners Real Madrid. Emre then played in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with Galatasaray that season. In 2001, he transferred to Internazionale where he played in the semi-finals of the Champions League. He was a member of the Turkish team that finished third at the 2002 World Cup.Emre was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.
