Gökhan Töre (Turkish pronunciation: [ɟøcˈhan ˈtøɾe], born 20 January 1992) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club West Ham United, on loan from Süper Lig club Beşiktaş, and for the Turkey national team.
Töre began his club career at Hamburger SV before joining Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan in the summer of 2012. He made only seven first-team appearances for Rubin Kazan and in June 2013, the midfielder went on loan to Turkish club Beşiktaş. In 2014, Töre signed for Beşiktaş permanently on a five-year deal.
He has been capped over 20 times for Turkey since making his debut in 2011.
Töre was discovered by Frank Arnesen, former head talent scout of Chelsea, when he was playing for the Bayer Leverkusen youth team. Töre mostly spent his time in the reserves, where he helped his team to win the Premier Reserve League and Premier Reserve League South in the 2010–11 season. He made the most appearances during the season, along with Milan Lalkovič, with 16 starts and he also scored four goals. He had been selected for 13 matchday squads during the 2010–11 season, but was not able to make his senior league debut for the team. Töre made his debut for Chelsea in a pre-season game against Crystal Palace coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for Daniel Sturridge.
