Club career

Bayer Leverkusen

On 2 February 2013 Bayer Leverkusen announced the signing of Öztunalı from Bundesliga rivals HSV on a 5-year deal, with the transfer to be completed at the end of the season.[1] He made his debut on 10 August, coming on as a late substitute for Gonzalo Castro in a 3-1 win over Freiburg.[2] At 17 years and 146 days Öztunalı became the youngest player to ever play for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and the 11th youngest player in the history of the competition.[3] On 26 August 2014 Öztunalı was voted the second best u-18 player in Germany behind teammate Julian Brandt, in doing so he was awarded the silver Fritz Walter Medal.[4]

Werder Bremen (loan)

On 21 December 2014 Öztunalı joined Werder Bremen on an 18-month loan deal, running until the end of the 2015-16 campaign.[5] Upon his arrival in Bremen, Chief Executive Thomas Eichin described Öztunalı as "one of the most sought-after talents in the Bundesliga."[6] His first goal for Die Grün-Weißen came on the final day of the 2014–15 season when he netted in a 3–2 loss to Borussia Dortmund.[7] Öztunalı had to wait until May the following the season to score his next goal for the club, netting one and assisting another in a 6-2 drubbing of Stuttgart. The result saw Bremen climb out of the relegation zone at the expense of their opponents.[8] He made his final appearance for the club on 14 May, playing for 77 minutes as Bremen beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 to avoid relegation.
