Gökhan Töre (Turkish pronunciation: [ɟœcˈhan ˈtœɾe], born 20 January 1992) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger.
Töre began his club career at Hamburger SV before joining Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan in the summer of 2012. He made only seven first-team appearances for Rubin Kazan and in June 2013, the midfielder went on loan to Turkish club Beşiktaş. In 2014, Töre signed for Beşiktaş permanently on a five-year deal.
Born in Germany, he has been capped over 20 times for Turkey since making his debut in 2011.
Early years
[edit]Töre was discovered by Frank Arnesen, former head talent scout of Chelsea, when he was playing for the Bayer Leverkusen youth team.[3] Töre mostly spent his time in the reserves, where he helped his team to win the Premier Reserve League and Premier Reserve League South in the 2010–11 season.[3] He made the most appearances during the season, along with Milan Lalkovič, with 16 starts and he also scored four goals.[4] He had been selected for 13 matchday squads during the 2010–11 season, but was not able to make his senior league debut for the team.[5] Töre made his debut for Chelsea in a pre-season game against Crystal Palace coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for Daniel Sturridge.[6]
Club career
[edit]Hamburger SV
[edit]Töre joined Hamburger SV from Chelsea,[7] becoming the third player to switch between the two sides during the 2011 summer transfer period, following Jacopo Sala and Michael Mancienne.[8] On 30 July 2011, Töre made his competitive debut against VfB Oldenburg in Marschweg-Stadion in a DFB-Pokal Round 1 encounter that resulted in a 2–1 win for HSV.[9][10] Töre made his senior league debut in the Hamburg starting line-up against Borussia Dortmund in the 2011–12 season opener, on 6 August 2011. Before December, Töre managed six assists in 17 games.[11]
Rubin Kazan
[edit]On 26 July 2012, Töre completed a transfer to Russian club Rubin Kazan, signing a four-year deal.[12] He was sent off for the first time in his career on 23 September 2012 in a 1–0 home win over Kuban Krasnodar.[13]
Beşiktaş
[edit]In June 2013, Töre signed a season-long loan deal with Beşiktaş,[14] scoring his first goal on his debut against Trabzonspor in a 2–0 home win. On 27 August 2013, Töre netted his second goal against Kayseri Erciyesspor in a 4–2 away win.[15][16]
In early August 2014, Töre joined Beşiktaş permanently on a five-year deal for a transfer fee believed to be about €4.5 million.[17][18]
Loan to West Ham United
[edit]On 11 July 2016, West Ham United confirmed the signing of Töre from Beşiktaş on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal.[19] He joined the Hammers for a fee of £2.5 million with an option to buy for a further £10 million.[20] On 21 August 2016, he provided his first assist in a West Ham shirt with a cross from the left wing, assisting Michail Antonio's 85th-minute header which decided the game against Bournemouth as West Ham won 1–0.[21] He played his last game for West Ham on 1 October 2016, against Middlesbrough[22] In October 2016, he picked up a femoral injury which was estimated to keep him out of the game for five weeks.[23] The injury kept him out of the team for the remainder of the season. His loan ended with him having played eight times only for West Ham; five in the Premier League, two in the Europa League, against Astra Giurgiu, and once in the EFL Cup, against Accrington Stanley.[22] Töre attributed the start of his season-long injury problems to an aggressive tackle from a teammate at a pre-season training camp.[24]
Yeni Malatyaspor
[edit]In July 2019, Töre joined Yeni Malatyaspor on a 1+1 year contract.[25]
Ankaragücü
[edit]On 5 March 2023, Töre signed with Ankaragücü until the end of the 2022–23 season.[26]
Konyaspor
[edit]On 19 September 2023, Töre signed with Konyaspor.[27]
International career
[edit]Töre has been a member of the Turkey national team at several age levels since 2007. In 2008, he was part of the national team squad at the UEFA Euro Under-17 Football Championship, in which Turkey were beaten by France on penalties in the semi-finals. Töre also played against France, later subbed in the 41st minute.[28] When he was 17, he was called up to the under-21 team in September 2009, during the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification campaign. He was subbed on for Tunay Torun in the 36th minute against Georgia.[29][30]
Turkey manager, Guus Hiddink – having seen Töre's performances in training when the duo were both at Chelsea – told Töre that he liked his performances and that he had potential, and suggested he joined the A2 national team first to improve himself.[31] Töre was called up to the senior team for the first time by Hiddink in May 2011 for the Euro 2012 qualification match against Belgium.[32][33] He made his debut for the national team on 10 August 2011 in a friendly match against Estonia in Istanbul.[34][35] On 2 September 2011, he was subbed on for team captain Emre Belözoğlu in the 60th minute, against Kazakhstan in a Euro 2012 qualification encounter, which ended in a 2–1 victory for Turkey.[36]
Personal life
[edit]Töre was born in Cologne, the oldest of three siblings, to Turkish parents from Samsun, Turkey.[37] In an interview, he stated that he likes the playing style of Sergio Agüero and Lionel Messi.[37] From October 2017 to June 2019, he was married to Turkish actress Esra Bilgiç.[38] In February 2020, he married architect Buket Büyükdere.[39] Their first child, a daughter named Adel, was born in January 2021. [40]
Controversies
[edit]Töre and a friend allegedly entered the national team hotel in October 2013 after Turkey's World Cup qualifying match against the Netherlands and threatened both Ömer Toprak and Hakan Çalhanoğlu with a firearm. Töre had allegedly been stewing over a reported affair between his former girlfriend and Ömer Toprak's friend. The incident was made public by Çalhanoğlu in an interview with German TV station ZDF.[41] In June 2015, Çalhanoğlu and Töre reconciled.[42]
In the early hours of 21 April 2014, Töre was accidentally shot in a nightclub in Istanbul. The winger sustained a shoulder injury and later required surgery.[43]
