Hakan back at Galatasaray

Striker Hakan Sükür has returned to Galatasaray SK from English side Blackburn Rovers FC.

Back in Turkey

The club's website announced that the 31-year-old has come back to Turkey to join Galatasaray and is ready to travel with the squad to their pre-season training camp in Austria. He has signed a blank contract with the club, with the details to be decided in the future.

Resounding success

Hakan started his professional career at Bursaspor in the 1990/91 season, joining Galatasaray two years later, after scoring 12 goals in 43 games. His first spell at the Istanbul club was to prove a resounding success as he scored 173 goals and was the league's top scorer in three successive seasons - 1996/97, 1997/98 and 1998/99.

Second move

The striker spent a few games on loan with Torino Calcio during the 1995/96 season, and made a second move to Italy in 2000/01 as he joined Internazionale FC from Galatasaray. After two seasons at the club he moved on to Parma AC and subsequently Blackburn.

Galatasaray excitement

Hakan's return is sure to spark excitement at Galatasaray as they prepare to start their UEFA Champions League campaign in the third qualifying round. The striker is the Turkish national team's all-time top scorer, with 38 goals in 84 games, and played in the finals of EURO 96™, EURO 2000™ and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Ist wohl das beste für Sükür - scheinbar nicht anpassungsfähig, wird er hoffentlich in heimatlichen Gefilden wieder zu alter Stärke zurückfinden...

Ein gescheiteter Profi der nochmals durchstarten will - viel Glück!!!
