Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Ankara, Ozan joined Galatasaray’s academy at 11. He made his senior debut in May 2018 and went on to gain Champions League experience with the Istanbul club before moving to Stuttgart in January 2019.
A Bundesliga breakthrough.
His first months in Germany brought three goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances and the 2018/19 Rookie of the Season award. Schalke signed him that summer. In February 2021 he joined Liverpool on loan, followed by a loan at Norwich City later that year.
Building in Hoffenheim.
Ozan joined Hoffenheim in July 2022. A serious knee injury in June 2024 kept him out for the following season, but he returned to Bundesliga action in October 2025. In April 2026 he signed a long-term contract extension, thanking the club for its support during his recovery.
