Salih Ozcan

Salih Ozcan built his reputation at 1. FC Köln before earning a move to Borussia Dortmund in 2022, where he has operated as a combative, high-energy central midfielder. His game is built on pressing intensity, ball-winning, and quick recycling rather than creativity — qualities that suit Dortmund's transitional style and give Türkiye a physical option in the middle of the park. Born in Stuttgart, he chose to represent Türkiye internationally and has become a dependable squad member. He is the kind of midfielder who makes the team harder to play against without necessarily making them more exciting to watch.
