Had a close relationship with Turkish president (dictator) Erdoğan, supported a far right Turkish terrorist group, acted like a Turkish nationalist but refused to join Turkish National team and he lied about it saying he wasnt invited to the Turkish National team, also accused his german teammates of racism, when he arrived at Turkey he was really underwhelming at Fenerbahçe then ended his career at Istanbul Başakşehir (A team that is owned by president Erdoğan and his far right buddies)
