Orkun Kokcu

Orkun Kokcu emerged as one of European football's most promising midfielders during his five years at Feyenoord, where he captained the club and drove their 2022-23 Eredivisie title campaign. His move to Benfica brought mixed results, and a return to Turkey with Beşiktaş in 2025 raised questions about his trajectory. For Türkiye, he offers a left-footed, progressive passing profile and the ability to carry the ball through lines — a complementary dynamic to Calhanoglu's deeper role. Still only 25, he remains a player of genuine quality whose best football may depend on finding consistent club form.
