Gizem Altun

This Turkish midfielder, who once sold simits on icy streets to afford her first pair of boots, channels that hardship into supernatural vertical leaps and relentless aggression on the pitch. Although her sprint dribbling can be slightly erratic, her refined first touch and raw power make her a friendly yet fearsome presence. She constantly soars over the opposition, fueled by a hunger that no obstacle has ever been able to stop.
