Since joining Inter in 2021, Hakan Calhanoglu has emerged as one of the most formidable long-range shooters in Serie A.
As per league statistics, reported by FCInterNews, the Turkish midfielder has netted 10 goals from outside the box since the 2021-22 season, placing him alongside Paulo Dybala and Dusan Vlahovic at the top of the rankings in Italy.
Calhanoglu’s ability to score from distance has become a defining feature of his playing style, showcasing a blend of precision, technique, and composure under pressure.
Calhanoglu Among Serie A and Europe’s Elite Long-Range Shooters
Among the top five leagues in Europe, only Kylian Mbappé, Kevin De Bruyne, and Harry Kane have registered more goals from outside the penalty area during this time.
This highlights Calhanoglu’s elite shooting ability.
Moreover, his role at Inter extends beyond just his shooting prowess.
As the team’s regista, Calhanoglu controls the tempo of the game while consistently posing a threat from long range, solidifying his status as one of Europe’s most well-rounded midfielders.
The Turkish star was rumored to leave Inter last summer, but contrary to media reports, he remained in Lombardy.
