GP SCOREA 20-year-old attacking midfielder with 12 Bundesliga goals over two seasons, after standing out with 16 goals in the 2. Bundesliga.

Uzun’s technical profile is a number ten close to a finisher. His 16 goals in 30 league games at Nürnberg show he is effective with shots and final passes around the box. At Frankfurt, in the 2025-26 opener against Werder Bremen, he scored and set up another in a 4-1 win. Technically he has a strong tendency to receive in tight space, change direction and turn it into a shot; his decision speed between shot and pass is the development area.

At Frankfurt he starts as the number ten, and he entered 2025-26 in that role. Playing 20 Bundesliga games in 2024-25 and 21 in 2025-26 shows he is a rotation player who also gets minutes in European games. For the Turkey senior side he has 1 goal in 10 caps; it came in a 4-0 friendly against North Macedonia on 1 June 2026.

At 1.86 m he has top-level height for an attacking midfielder. That advantage can be used in aerial play and contact duels. Playing 41 Bundesliga games over two seasons is a notable load for his age. No notable injury interruption stood out in this study.

Nürnberg 2022-23: 3 games in the 2. Bundesliga; 2023-24: 30 games and 16 goals in the 2. Bundesliga, 2 DFB-Pokal games and 3 goals. Frankfurt 2024-25: 20 Bundesliga games and 4 goals, 1 DFB-Pokal game, 10 European games and 1 goal. 2025-26: 21 Bundesliga games and 8 goals, 2 DFB-Pokal games, 5 European games and 2 goals. 2026-27: 5 Bundesliga games and 2 goals, 1 DFB-Pokal game and 2 goals. Turkey senior side: 10 caps, 1 goal; in the World Cup squad. He joined Frankfurt on 2 July 2024 on a five-year contract, initially for 11 million euros rising to 14 million with bonuses.

Strengths

The first is goal potential; 16 goals in the 2. Bundesliga and 8 in the Bundesliga in 2025-26. The second is minutes at club level for his age; around 100 club games by the age of 20. The third is height and physical capacity. The fourth is being in the Turkey senior side and the World Cup squad. The fifth is a long contract, at Frankfurt until June 2029.

Weaknesses and Development Areas

The first development area is consistency; 4 goals in 20 Bundesliga games in 2024-25 against 8 in 2025-26 is an uneven curve. The second is decision speed in choosing between shot and pass. The third is defining his role on the way to being a first-choice starter for Turkey. The fourth is the high valuation; Frankfurt’s internal valuation was reported at 80 million euros and that expectation can create pressure on output.

Career Projection and Contract Status

His Frankfurt contract runs to June 2029; databases show a market value of around 43-45 million euros and the press reported the club’s internal valuation as 80 million euros. Interest from Premier League clubs has appeared in the press; these are not club statements. At 20, his 2026-27 Bundesliga and European output will determine future valuations. Playing time at club level is essential to staying in the Turkey squad.
