Aksel Baran Potur — Biography
Aksel Baran Potur is a left-footed midfielder who grew up in Norway and chose to represent Turkey. He holds dual Norwegian and Turkish citizenship, stands 1.85 meters tall, and now plays for HamKam in the Norwegian top flight, Eliteserien, having also made his name with Turkey's under-21 national team.
As a youth he played for Abildsø, Skeid, Lillestrøm and KFUM, and made his senior debut for KFUM in 2021. In the same season he was loaned to Moss FK, and ahead of the 2022 season the move was made permanent. Being left-footed, he could be used in any position on the left side, and his form at Moss earned him the league's Young Player of the Month award for July 2023. That year he was scouted and selected for the Turkey under-21 side, alongside names such as Kenan Yıldız, playing seven matches in 2023 and one in 2024. At the end of 2024 his contract with Moss ran out and he joined HamKam on a free transfer, making his first-tier debut against Kristiansund in March 2025.
His former Moss manager Thomas Myhre was appointed HamKam manager in 2025, so Potur continued his path at the new club alongside a familiar coach.
