Altay Bayındır

Written by Emre Sarigul for turkish-football.com:

Altay Bayindir started off as a striker, but his will to win pushed him between the sticks. “I grew up playing on the streets. I used to play as a striker but would go in goal to protect our lead after racking up the score because I was the tallest kid,” he explained. Will probably be feeling a little hard done by having spent the season playing second fiddle to André Onana at Manchester United, despite a number of high-profile errors from the £47m Cameroonian. Had Bayindir got more playing time he would probably be the starter for Turkey at the Euros but as things stand it looks like he will be on the bench for his country as well. Aged 26 he is the youngest of the three keepers in contention and has great potential but picking him would be a risk given his lack of match sharpness.
