It was a week like no other for young Emre Mor. First, he was the surprise inclusion in Turkey’s 23-man squad for Euro 2016 when many in his homeland had barely heard of him. Then he completed a stunning €16 million transfer to Borussia Dortmund from Nordsjaelland in Denmark.

The 18-year-old was applauded off the pitch in Antalya following his 45-minute international debut against Montenegro at the end of May.
