Unal would probably play Premier League season if he had a work permit.
There is of course the chance that the Home Office grant him an exemption on the basis of being a talent capable of contributing to Premier League football.
@TheBlandShaun @ManCityArmy1894 Enes Unal lads, Enes Unal. Maybe not next season, but the one after. He’s gonna score a shed load in his career.

Is too much being made of his goal record? it is the Eredivisie after all but then against Luis Suarez, Romario and Brazilian Ronaldo made a name for himself in the same league.
@City_Watch 18 goals doesnt mean anything if it wasn’t at la liga or Premeir League Guidetti scored 20 Goals in 23 Apps for Feyenoord

Well that settles that.
@mkraba3i @City_Watch Guidetti would have been great if he didn’t get sick… That changed everything for him…
