Kerem Demirbay

Demirbay has been spotted taking pictures with fans during his frequent trips in the pubic trains. We have not seen him in a car yet though.

A former youth international for Turkey, the eccentric playmaker switched to represent birth country Germany in 2017. After spending a year in their youth setup, Demirbay was promoted to Borussia Dortmund II. Then Bundesliga stalwarts Hamburger SV signed him up on a free transfer in 2014. Plagued by injuries and other issues, the midfielder could only muster single digit appearances for the first team in his three-year stint at Hamburg. However, a move to 1899 Hoffenheim changed his fortunes. Under the guidance of young sensation Julian Nagelsmann, Kerem improved leaps and bounds and went on to become the team’s most important piece for a solid 20 months. Just like his manager, Demirbay made a move to a rival Bundesliga club this season when Leverkusen triggered his €32 million release clause after Julian Brandt’s departure to Borussia Dortmund. The German playmaker recieved a callup to the Turkey national football team in May 2017, for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification against Kosovo, but rescinded the offer. Later in the same day, Demirbay accepted a callup to the Germany national football team for the friendly against Denmark in June 2017, in which he was handed his first national team cap.
