Gokhan Tore

Position: LM/RM

Games Played: 8 (449 minutes)

Impact So Far: Well he did claim the assist for the first ever Premier League goal at the London stadium, but since then he has been little better than a tortoise that’s lost its legs. With poor performances followed by injuries it has not been great for the Turkish international. Bilic would have expected a different level of performance after making a special effort to bring him in.

Potential Future Impact: Similar to the other two loans. I expect Tore will be off to Turkey in January, but he won’t be missed. In fact Besiktas are even reluctant to having him back and are looking into legal options of refusing his return.

Transfer Grade: E-. Arrived with a lot of promise that never materialized.
