Galatasaray

On 31 August 2009, Galatasaray signed Caner on a one-year loan from CSKA Moscow with an option to purchase at the end of the season.[1] Initially he played as a left-back and was mainly used as a substitute for Hakan Balta, however during the season, coach Frank Rijkaard played him in a more advanced position on the left wing due to his greater attacking ability. He scored his first goal for Gala during a Turkish Cup game against Trabzonspor.

National team career

Erkin made his debut for the Turkish National Team at the age of 17 in a friendly match against Ghana in May 2006.[2]
