Gokhan Inler is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for English Premier League side Leicester City.
A hard-working, tenacious, and tactically versatile midfielder, Inler is capable of aiding his team both defensively and offensively; an intelligent player, he is known both for his stamina and his movements off the ball, although his most prominent trait is his powerful and accurate striking ability from distance with both feet, and also from set pieces. Due to his height and physical attributes, he is also effective in the air.
Inler began his professional career with FC Basel, later joining FC Aarau and FC Zurich. After four seasons with Udinese in the Italian Serie A, he then joined Napoli in 2011. Inler played under-21 football for both Switzerland and Turkey. He made his debut for the Swiss senior team in 2006 and has since earned 89 caps, scoring seven goals, making him the nation's fifth-most capped player of all time. He represented the squad at UEFA Euro 2008 and two FIFA World Cups, captaining the Swiss in Brazil in 2014.
