The 2016-17 campaign delivered a respectable 7th-place finish for FC Twente in the Eredivisie as The Tukkers looked to rebuild their reputation. Leading the charge was the sensational young loanee, Enes Ünal, whose 18 goals anchored the attack and included a memorable hat-trick in his second start. This season, overseen by René Hake and featuring key players like Kamohelo Mokotjo and Mateusz Klich, was defined by the Turkish forward's breakout performance and laid a crucial foundation for the club after years of instability.
