Shouldn't come as a surprise, he has always said he wanted to play for Turkey, he got the chance and took it. From a Fulham point of view it could work out favourably, he could have chosen Morocco and join the African Cup of Nations absent list. Secondly, Turkey is a football crazy country, interest in Fulham is rapidly rising, seen as though its a rapidly growing economy could be a good market for the club to target, signing Burak Yilmaz wouldn't be bad business either.
