Welcome to City!
Class act to sign the contract in a suit, rather than some gash graphic tee. Apparently has scored about 182 goals in 110 youth league games. Great record no matter who it is against. Also youngest ever scorer in the Turkish league.

Also wrote a very nice goodbye letter to Bursaspor:
Thanks.
It is not a time to say goodbye, but it is the time to say thanks to Bursaspor, where I was a ballboy in the senior team games or I was playing in the youth team when I was 9 years old. I've always felt proud to be a part of the family.
My road map not only brought excitement because I will have the chance to represent my club, my city and my country abroad, but also brought a great sense of responsibility.
I want to thank my father Mesut Ünal, my mother, my siblings, my family and my inner circle, my agent Batur Altıparmak, Ömer Koray Uzun, Footalent, my coaches who have been with me since the youth academy, my club presidents and executives, the dining hall personnel who had to put up with me, all the club personnel, press members, my coaches in the national team and great Bursaspor fans for their support.
Do not have any doubts about me giving my best effort to succeed in England in a new and difficult environment, an excitement. I know my responsibilities and I know about the expectations.
It is also important for me to show my brothers in youth academies that you can also think about playing in Europe without playing in another club in Turkey. My story has begun in Bursa Ataturk Stadium. I hope that I can write a story that will be among world's classics and I can finish it in Bursa Crocodile Arena.
Wherever I am, I am always this city's boy and this club's supporter. As I have said, this is not a farewell. Hope to see you in better, sunny days.
My regards, Enes Ünal
