Baris Yilmaz
26-Year-Old
Galatasaray
Super Lig
Goal and assist in final outing
Yilmaz scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Thursday's 3-2 win over USA.
ANALYSIS
Yilmaz produced his most influential performance of the tournament in the final group game, contributing to two of Turkey's three goals on the night and across the tournament. He assisted Arda Guler in the 10th minute, then saw his deflection off Orkun Kokcu's shot find the net in the 31st and scored himself to complete a memorable individual display. The timing however made it a bittersweet moment for a player who had managed only one shot and one chance created across his previous two appearances of 45 minutes each as Turkey bowed out early.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal showing interest
Arsenal are keeping close tabs on the availability of Yilmaz, according to ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal reportedly sent sporting director Andrea Berta to scout several players at last weekend's Istanbul derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, and Yilmaz was rated among the standout performers for the club. Yilmaz has been on Arsenal's radar for quite some time, though, so the Gunners could make a move for him in the summer.
